Description

The Toronto School of Theology, the largest ecumenical consortium for theological education in Canada, is comprised of seven theological schools: Emmanuel College (United Church of Canada), Knox College (Presbyterian Church in Canada), Regis College (Roman Catholic: Jesuit), St. Augustine's Seminary (Roman Catholic: Diocesan), University of St. Michael's College (Roman Catholic: Basilian), University of Trinity College (Anglican), and Wycliffe College (Anglican). TST is fully accredited by the Association of Theological Schools in the US and Canada, as is each of its seven member schools. Academic standards are consistent with those of the University of Toronto, which holds TST accountable through a highly developed process of quality assurance. The TST consortium offers a full range of professional and academic degrees, for different educational purposes. Some are primarily professional in character, while others are oriented to general theological studies or research. All our degree programs operate at the post-baccalaureate level, and degrees are conferred conjointly by the University of Toronto. By bringing together established and junior scholars from a wide variety of Christian and non-Christian traditions, in the context of one of the world's preeminent research universities, TST offers students an exceptional opportunity to research and understand the Bible, Christian belief and discipleship, the history of Christianity and Church leadership, and to prepare for various forms of ministry in the contemporary world. Entry-level programs are the MDiv, MRE, MAMS, MSMus, MPS and MTS. Graduate programs – those that build on previous theological study – are the PhD, ThM and DMin. All TST students are registered in a member college; TST itself does not register or admit students in degree programs, and does not confer degrees.
