At Tyndale University in Toronto, Canada, MA/MS in Clinical Counselling is offered as a master's degree in Counselling & Psychotherapy programme. The programme runs for 3 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 21,033 per year (CAD 18,846 per year for local students).
This program leads to a Master of Arts in Clinical Counselling at Tyndale Seminary, delivered on campus in Toronto and including a required supervised internship placement. The curriculum addresses counselling theory and practice across both secular and Christian settings, preparing students to conduct therapeutic work in virtual and in-person formats and to attend to clients' emotional, mental, social, and spiritual needs. Coursework is structured to provide the academic foundation graduates need to pursue certification with professional counselling associations and to seek registration as psychotherapists with Ontario's regulatory college, though the program provides educational preparation only, with further supervised clinical experience required afterward for full professional accreditation. It suits individuals drawn to listening and relationship-building work who want to support others through counselling, and it combines clinical training with an integration of faith perspectives into therapeutic practice.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.00 / 4.0
Admission Requirements: Tyndale's Clinical Counselling program (Master of Arts) is the most demanding of the seminary's MA tracks. Beyond the general MA baseline of a completed baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution plus a Pastoral/Character reference and an Academic/Employer reference, Clinical Counselling requires a relevant undergraduate degree with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0, at least four undergraduate psychology courses whose best-four average is 3.0 or above, a required interview with the program director scheduled in May, and a supplementary admission essay. The program's own admission page does not publish an English-proficiency test score, unlike Tyndale's Diploma/MTS/MDiv track. The program admits students in the fall semester only.
Application Details
Start Date:Fall
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.
