Program details
Overview
This graduate certificate is designed for students who already hold a graduate degree in theology and are seeking ordination in the Anglican Church. The curriculum covers six core credits addressing Anglican theology, liturgy, preaching, and parish leadership, through courses including Introduction to Anglican Theology, Introduction to Anglican Liturgy, Basics of Preaching, and Parish Leadership and Ministry, plus two elective credits. Students complete a required parish placement coordinated through the parish-leadership coursework and an accompanying theological-integration seminar. The certificate can be completed in one year of full-time study or spread over up to six years part-time, with online, summer, and intensive course options regularly available. It is offered at Wycliffe College on the University of Toronto's downtown campus. Graduates typically go on to receive holy orders in the diaconate or priesthood of the Anglican Church, making the program suited to candidates who already hold graduate theological credentials and are specifically preparing for Anglican ordination.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Certificate in Anglican Studies is designed for applicants who already hold a graduate degree in theology and are seeking ordination in the Anglican Church; the programme's own page does not set out a GPA threshold, application process, or language-test score, so it draws on Wycliffe College's general admission requirements. Under the institution's general framework, an applicant completes Wycliffe's application form together with references, submitted through the Wycliffe College or Toronto School of Theology portal, and applicants whose primary language is not English must demonstrate proficiency through a recognized language exam, meeting Wycliffe's institution-wide standard of IELTS overall band 7.0, or TOEFL with an overall score of 93 on the internet-based test (minimum 22 in speaking and writing) or 580 on the paper-based test with 5 in the Test of Written English.
