Welcome to Wycliffe College

Doctor of Ministry at the Toronto School of Theology

The Doctor of Ministry (D.Min) program at the Toronto School of Theology is now accepting applications for 2013. 

The Doctor of Ministry program at TST is a professional degree with academic rigor, enabling students to base their research on a question stemming from their ministry experience. 

The program is designed so students can complete it in as little as four years.  In the first stage, students complete coursework, including 3 core D.Min courses, based on an Individual Learning Plan.  Once coursework is completed, students write a comprehensive examination and a thesis based on their action research.

The D.Min program is offered in a distance learning model, making it available to students across Canada and beyond.  Students come to Toronto for intensive on-campus learning (normally two weeks each spring) and study with their Collaborative Learning Group throughout the year by e-learning. 

Admission Requirements:

-        An M.Div. or equivalent with a B+ average or better, and a baccalaureate degree from a recognized college or university

-        3 years of ministry experience (not necessarily in a church setting; para-church organizations and other ministry experience is also considered relevant)

-        Applicants whose first language is not English must provide evidence of English facility, either by a previous earned degree taken in English or by achieving a satisfactory score on a TOEFL exam.

Students will continue to be engaged in a ministry (normally fulltime), which will serve as the ministry base during the course of study.
