Graduate Degree Programs

The Toronto School of Theology (TST) has the largest graduate program in theology in Canada, with nearly 400 students registered in TST's graduate degree programs.

TST offers two advanced master's degrees, the Master of Theology (ThM) and the Master of Arts in Theology (MA). Both degrees are granted conjointly by the University of Toronto and the TST member school in which the student is registered.

TST's doctoral program leads towards the Doctor of Philosophy in Theological Studies (PhD), granted conjointly by the University of Toronto and the TST member school in which the student is registered.

The Doctor of Ministry (DMin) program is a professional doctoral degree granted conjointly by the University of Toronto and the TST member school in which the student is registered.

Academic policies for the graduate degree programs are administered collaboratively by the Director of the Graduate Centre for Theological Studies (GCTS) and by the Graduate Degree Director in the student's college of registration. The GCTS office, located in the TST building, supports the administration of the graduate degree programs. Applications to the graduate degree programs are made to the GCTS. Learn how to apply here.
