The Master of Arts in Theological Studies (MA) is designed as a one-year second degree in theology. It fosters graduate-level competence in theological study, and students may specialize in an original research topic for a thesis.

How to Apply

For admission to the MA program, an applicant is normally required to have a Bachelor’s degree in Theology or a major or specialist in Theology or Religious Studies, or equivalent, from a recognized degree-granting institution, with at least B+ (3.3/4.0 CGPA) standing (or equivalent). Alternatively, an applicant may present a second-entry degree in Theological Studies, such as the Master of Divinity (MDiv) or Master of Theological Studies (MTS), representing at least two years of full-time studies or equivalent past the undergraduate bachelor’s, with a minimum of a B+ (3.3/4.0 CGPA) standing (or equivalent).

Typically, there are no language requirements for admission into the program, unless the primary sources for the proposed area of study are in a language or languages other than English (as in biblical studies). In such cases, applicants may be required to provide evidence of competence in at least one language other than English.

Admissions Option 2

The MA is a second degree in theology. Students with non-theology degrees in the humanities may still be considered, provided they have sufficient background in theology-related areas.

The MA is now awarded conjointly with the University of Toronto and features new cohort courses in research and methodology.

You will acquire graduate-level competence in theological study, and you will specialize in a topic you choose for a thesis.

There is a "research" option with 6 courses culminating in a thesis, and a "taught" option comprised entirely of courses.

All students complete core courses in research and methodology.
