The Bachelor of Theology is a wide-ranging and comprehensive introduction to the Christian tradition, suitable for those with previous degrees and those without.
The Bachelor of Theology degree gives students a deep understanding of the Christian tradition. This degree includes study of the Bible and Biblical languages, Christian history, theology, philosophy of religion, and ethics. It also provides students with an opportunity to study non-Christian religions and consider Christianity in its contemporary, global context.
In this program, students acquire concrete tools applicable in many different professions: teaching, research, pastoral ministry, international relief with non-governmental organizations, social work, counselling, international affairs, non-profit program administration, businesses with community outreach, and journalism.
Students in the Bachelor of Theology are co-enrolled in McGill University and Montreal Diocesan Theological College and take their courses through the McGill School of Religious Studies.

Montreal Diocesan Theological College (widely known simply as “Dio”) is a creative learning community, preparing people for Christian ministry in affiliation with one of Canada’s leading universities. Dio is ecumenical in nature with roots in the Anglican and United Church traditions. Through residential, distance, and online programs, we offer theological education that prepares students from all backgrounds for faithful and creative Christian leadership. We strive to be a warm, welcoming, generous, and inclusive community as we all seek to discern the ministries to which God is calling us. In our chapel life and on retreat, in our life in Montreal and around the college, we come together before Christ and as a community to grow in the knowledge and love of God, and the love of one another.
“Pursuing a B.Th. at McGill University allowed me to fuse and forge my academic, professional, and personal passions in faith, service, and justice. It brought the world to me so that I could learn, contemplate, and reflect; and it took me to the world equipped with that knowledge to serve.”
