Overview
This program grants a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies and Theology, offered as a Major, Honours, or Minor, and also available as a combined five-year BA plus Master of Divinity dual-degree track. Instruction takes place mainly in person at the Toronto campus, supplemented by some online courses. The curriculum covers biblical Hebrew and Greek, study of the Old and New Testaments, church history, world religions, and practical ministry experience, with optional minor concentrations in areas such as youth ministry, pastoral ministry, or intercultural studies. The program suits students preparing for vocational ministry roles, including pastoral or youth pastor positions and biblical studies teaching, as well as those who wish to apply theological training within other professional fields such as business. It combines academic study of scripture and doctrine with opportunities for practical, faith-based formation.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:65.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Tyndale's Biblical Studies and Theology (BA Honours) program page sets out no admission criteria of its own and points applicants to the university's general undergraduate admission requirements. Ontario high-school applicants need a minimum overall average of 65%, including at least 65% in ENG4U, plus five other Grade 12 U or M courses; comparable 65%-average routes apply to applicants from other Canadian provinces. Applicants whose first language is not English, or who lack three years of English-medium secondary or post-secondary study, must submit one of IELTS Academic 6.5, TOEFL iBT 90, TOEFL PBT 570, or Duolingo English Test 120. The Admissions Committee may additionally require an interview or a Writing and Diagnostic Test before confirming an offer of admission.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Tyndale University runs a largely rolling undergraduate admissions process with no fixed closing date: applicants submit a free application and transcripts and typically get a decision within two weeks, for entry in the September (Fall) or January (Winter) semester. International applicants pay a $150 fee and are recommended, not required, to have a complete application in by 1 April for September entry or by 1 October for January entry so the Admissions Committee's one-month review and study-permit processing have enough lead time; Tyndale publishes no firm international closing date for the 2026-27 cycle, and admission otherwise continues on a rolling basis. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
