Graduates follow a wide variety of paths: Some return with a reinvigorated vision for a previous career. Some enter church or parachurch work. Some follow newly discovered passions. Whatever the path, MA in Christian Studies graduates leave Regent grounded in the great story of God's work in the world, and motivated to engage God's call on their life.

This usually means that you have completed a bachelor's degree with a GPA of at least 2.8 (out of 4). However, we will consider your application if you are at least 28 years old and you can show that your life experience (including work and education) is equivalent to a university degree.

You will be awarded the MA in Christian Studies degree when you have successfully completed 42 credit hours of study, including your final project (see Additional Requirements below), with a GPA of at least 3.0 (B).

All students are required to take 30 credits of Foundational Core Courses listed below, as well as 12 credits of Additional Requirements.

Regent College was founded in 1968 as the first graduate school of theology in North America to make education of the laity its central focus. Our Christ-centred graduate programs and courses bring together vibrant evangelical faith and rigorous academics.

Over 600 students join us every term (full- and part-time), from over 40 countries, representing more than 30 denominations. These students come from every vocation and field, with a breadth of perspectives, cultures, and ages. They leave transformed—spiritually and academically—and stay members of a thriving alumni community far beyond graduation.

Regent is truly transdenominational—welcoming students from all ends of the theological spectrum. As an institution, Regent is both evangelical and orthodox, but our first priority is to remain true to orthodox faith as recorded in the Scriptures.

The College is home to some of the most influential theological thinkers and remains one of the world’s foremost graduate schools of Christian studies.
