The Bachelor of Theology (B.Th.) is an undergraduate degree in theology. It is intended to give students a basic understanding of theology and religious sciences and provide a foundation for pastoral leadership. The program is ideal for students preparing to work in pastoral ministry, sacramental preparation, catechesis, social justice work, youth work and health care ministry, although some of these areas will need further formal training.
The Bachelor of Theology degree is not intended to be an undergraduate Arts degree with a major in theology. It is a specialized degree in theology and religious sciences. There is a Seminary Route for this program. The requirements for seminarians include additional formational and ordination requirements.

Applicants for the Bachelor of Theology degree must have an Alberta High School Diploma (with English 30) or its equivalent. Applicants 30 years of age or older who do not have a high school diploma may also be admitted upon successful completion of English 30 or an acceptable equivalent. Screening interviews are held to determine the candidate’s aptitude for ministry. A second Mid-Program Assessment for lay students will be held prior to the student’s participation in MPS 339 Theological Field Education to determine readiness for practicum learning. Ongoing evaluation may result in a student being asked to interrupt or to leave the program for reasons over and above academic competence.
