Program details
Overview
This program is offered at Tyndale Seminary as a Graduate Diploma, Master of Theological Studies, Master of Divinity, or Master of Theology in Theological Studies, delivered on campus in Toronto with online study options; the Master of Divinity track includes a supervised ministry internship. Across these credentials, the curriculum covers biblical studies and languages, Christian theology, church history, and ministry formation, with specific courses addressing subjects such as historical and contemporary theology, world religions, the relationship between Christianity and Islam, and questions of evil and suffering. Instruction proceeds from an evangelical theological perspective and emphasizes developing the ability to engage current theological questions. The program suits students preparing for ministry within a church context as well as those planning to continue toward further graduate study in theology or religious studies, and its multiple credential levels allow entry at different depths of academic commitment.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Tyndale's Theological Studies program page (Master of Theological Studies) sets no separate entrance criteria and directs applicants to Tyndale Seminary's general admission requirements for Canadian students. Applicants must hold a completed baccalaureate degree from an accredited university or college with a minimum average of 67% or 'C+' (2.3 on a 4.0 scale), and must submit the required references as part of the application. Applicants whose first language is not English, or who have not completed three years of English-medium study, must submit IELTS Academic 6.5, TOEFL iBT 90, TOEFL PBT 570, or Duolingo English Test 120. The Admissions Committee may also require an interview before an offer is confirmed.
Application Details
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.
