Students who take a four-year Bachelor of Arts degree can major in Business Administration, English, History, Philosophy, Psychology, or Religious Studies. Tyndale also offers an honours degree with a major in Religious Studies. A conjoint Bachelor of Arts degree in Human Services is also offered. This program allows a student to earn a BA degree from Tyndale plus a Diploma in either Early Childhood Education or Social Service Work from Seneca College, all in four years of full-time study.

The Bachelor of Arts degree allows a student to gain a broadly-based liberal arts education and also take the equivalent of a minor in Biblical and Theological Studies at the same time. The main goal of this degree is to help the student integrate Christian faith and a broad understanding of our culture into a comprehensive Christian worldview.

Students planning to go on to seminary studies are encouraged to take this degree and to major in English, History, Philosophy, Psychology, or Religious Studies, depending on what they plan to take as a major in seminary. For example, someone planning to specialize in Pastoral Counselling should consider majoring in Psychology, while someone planning to pursue a pastoral/preaching ministry might well decide to do an honours degree in Religious Studies with in-depth studies in the biblical languages.

In the Bachelor of Arts degree, an emphasis is placed on the development of critical thinking skills, oral and written communication skills, and the ability to read texts critically. Academic standards are high and it is possible to take the first year or two of this degree program and to then transfer to selected secular or Christian universities for senior university studies. The University of Toronto and York University are among those universities which accept one or more years of transfer credit from Tyndale University College. (See pages 152-154 for more information.) This is an especially attractive option for those wishing to take a major not currently offered at Tyndale or for those who intend to study in a secular university, but would like to complete their first year in the setting of a Christian university college.
