Masters Pentecostal Seminary was
launched in 1996 with a partnership agreement with Tyndale
Seminary (Toronto).
This partnership has allowed us to begin offering graduate
courses that are accredited through Tyndale, which is accredited
with ATS. As a result, many of our procedures and policies
regarding admissions, registration, and academic affairs
are the same as those of Tyndale. For more information on
details not listed here, please consult the Tyndale Academic
Catalogue.
Who are our students?
Todays typical seminary student is "30-something," working
full or part time while pursuing graduate studies. Some are
coming out of university, and training for ministry through
the M.Div. program. Others are lay people who want to pursue
biblical/theological training as part of the development
of their Christian lives. Many are pastors who are seeking
to keep themselves fresh.
How do I get in?
1.1 Many of our students have been admitted into graduate
work through the Tyndale admissions process. All of our courses
and programes are available to the Tyndale Seminary student.
You may call them at 416-226-6380 and ask for Admissions,
or go to their website.
1.2 Admission to graduate
studies is now available through Master’s Seminary.
Admission into Master’s
Seminary will give the student access to all of our courses
and programes, as well as to those of Tyndale Seminary, Toronto.
You can apply as an Occasional Student by completing an Occasional
Student Application Form, which will permit you to do
up to five courses. Or you can apply to a program, by submitting
a Regular
Application Form. Contact or 1-800-295-6368 if you require additional information.
1.3 A graduate student from any other
institution or seminary may take our courses. Since our
courses are registered on
Tyndale transcripts, there is an established procedure that
involves a letter of permission from the students institution.
Up to seven courses may be taken in this manner. For more
details, please see the Tyndale Academic Catalogue under "Admissions."
2. Conditions of Admission:
