Tyndale University College & Seminary was founded in 1894 in Toronto, Ontario. Legislated by the Government of Ontario, Tyndale University College is a Christian university with a growing number of undergraduate programs, offering a wide range of academic disciplines. Tyndale Seminary is Canada’s largest graduate school of theology, offering degrees at the master’s and doctoral levels. Tyndale’s community, representing 60 ethnic backgrounds and 40 different denominations, inspires students to think analytically, serve faithfully and live passionately.

Welcome to Tyndale University College & Seminary. We are on an exciting adventure in our mission to provide quality post-graduate education and graduate theological and ministerial training. Tyndale has over 120 years of history in preparing people for their future professions, from teaching and business to pastoral work. Tyndale continues to do this today, and has expanded upon it to prepare people for their future.

Tyndale offers students a university education that prepares them to work in several different professions or for further graduate studies within a context that affirms a community of faith. Tyndale scores high in a poll measuring students’ satisfaction with their university education. We offer Bachelors of Arts degrees in Business, Psychology, Biblical Studies, English, History, Philosophy and more, as well as a Bachelors of Education.

Tyndale Seminary is the largest graduate school of theology in Canada. We have worked diligently to provide ease of access for students who wish to study part-time or full-time. There are multiple ways in which you can study and train. The multicultural nature of our student body makes learning exciting and challenging. You will study with professors deeply rooted in taking their subjects and placing them in real context. This is not just theory for them, they have had to put it into practice. Neither do we think that ministry only happens professionally through pastoral ministry. The call to faithful living is for all. Consequently we believe in shaping and transforming people of faith to be able to think theologically, deepen their spiritual lives and navigate the challenges of 21st century world.

In 2007, we acquired the Morrow Park facilities on Bayview Avenue. The Bachelor of Education program, Doctor of Ministry program, the Development office, the Alumni office and the Tyndale Association of Spiritual Directors moved to the Bayview campus in 2009. The rest of the university and seminary joined them in Spring 2015, completing the historic move. The new campus provides 56 acres of green space and property resources to expand our course offerings and accommodate our growth.

Tyndale University College & Seminary is a Christian institution of higher education standing in the Protestant Evangelical tradition. With all Christians East and West, North and South, we affirm the historic Apostles’ and Nicene creeds, and we affirm our spiritual kinship with all who seek to exalt and serve the Lord Jesus Christ.

We are also rooted in the Protestant Reformation with its conviction concerning the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the normative authority of Scripture. In the tradition of the Evangelical awakenings, we proclaim the message of a personal faith in the crucified Christ and a transformed life through the Spirit. Born out of the world missionary movement of the 19th century, we continue to serve the global Church in all its cultural diversity. We embrace the biblical call to seek justice and peace and to serve the poor, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.

Tyndale offers a distinct undergraduate Christian university experience where students develop the skills they need to think analytically and respond to the issues of today and tomorrow. Smaller classes nurture a strong sense of community and dialogue between students and professors. The university offers Bachelor’s degrees and honours degrees in Arts (BA), Religious Education (BRE), a Certificate in Christian Studies and a post-undergraduate Bachelor’s degree in Education (BEd). These degrees prepare graduates for dynamic careers, professional programs, graduate programs in other universities and for life. The Tyndale undergraduate university experience is known for high quality academics that are interwoven with faith. It is a community of students and faculty that challenges each other to live authentically, follow Christ and actively engage their culture.

Tyndale Seminary, long recognized for its innovation and creativity, prepares people to lead and live from the core of a vibrant Christian faith in a postmodern, pluralistic and multicultural society. The seminary’s graduate degrees provide a comprehensive theological foundation and offer one of the largest selections of specializations in theological education in North America. Tyndale students, through academic rigour, practical application and dialogue, develop the skills needed to examine their beliefs, work through issues and engage their culture with the gospel. Seminary courses have been designed to be flexible; programs can be taken online as well as in modular, one-week intensives and traditional daytime and evening formats. Tyndale Seminary offers degrees in Doctor of Ministry (DMin), Master of Divinity (MDiv), Master of Theological Studies (MTS), Master of Theology (ThM) and Graduate Diploma programs.

Tyndale University College & Seminary has been a transformative journey for my son; the dedicated staff goes above and beyond, fostering an inspiring atmosphere that truly elevates student potential.

Did my undergrad at Tyndale. Was one of the best experiences of my life. G-Sweets and DocPrezGarNels are legends. (So are many others, but I ain't got time for that!)

The professors at this school do more than just regurgitate information from a textbook. They integrate it with faith, and teach with passion. Many of them provide some lived experience in specific disciplines to help us learn practical application of theoretical principles. No place I would've rather done my undergrad! #Classof2018

Canada's best seminary. Absolutely wonderful faculty, staff, and courses. Having acquired my BRE from here, I'm now near completion of my MDiv. Your best choice in Christian post-secondary education.

I did my B.A. here and really enjoyed the experience. The teachers were incredible people who put their whole heart into the well being of their students. I cannot speak to the new building, I did my degree when it was on Ballyconnor Court.

Great people, great faculty. This might be one of the only trans-denominational seminaries in the area, so you're getting the fuller picture of church history, theology, and spirituality - not indoctrination from one perspective. Blessings

Love love love Tyndale. I spent almost 8 years there and I love every second of it. Great professors and excellent learning environment both in University and in Seminary. Those were the best 8 years of my life. Thank you Tyndale.

Still in my first year with a lot to learn, but I feel at home enough to give such a high rating to this school and the growth it facilitates. I am nourished by the community and insight of experienced, well educated professors. Asking questions is always encouraged and all types of learning struggles are assisted. This is a school that cares about the WHOLE person, not just your grade point average. An astounding example of the practicality of Christ's church. An amazing option in Christian higher education.

Such an incredIble academic institution with small classes and professors that take the time to know the student. Community is one of the highest values regarded by the faculty and students and also huge acreage of open green space!
By Brandon Burns (Oct, 2017) |

I attended Tyndale University and Seminary in 2000 and graduated 2004 with my M.DIV (major in counseling) I must say that 95% of my Professors were highly qualified and knowledgeable of the work they taught.....that gave me high credentials to move forward in 2008 to achieve my Doctorate ( at Luther Rice University and Seminary Georgia, USA....fully accrediated. ...I am very grateful to Tyndale and the change sitting in a class room brought to my life and that made me a better Christian. Blessings
