Overview

The Bachelor of Religious Education (BRE) is a three-year professional degree designed to prepare students for ministry in churches, parachurch organizations, or missions. This is an excellent degree for those already in ministry or for those planning to become involved in ministry.

The BRE Post-Diploma Program is designed for students who have completed a two- or three-year diploma at an Ontario college of applied arts and technology or equivalent. The BRE degree can be completed in two years of full-time study, but students may also study part-time. The program includes courses in humanities, social sciences, biblical studies and professional studies.

The recommended program for those intending to proceed to seminary after their undergraduate studies is the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Religious Studies or in any of the humanities or social sciences offered at Tyndale (i.e., English, History, Philosophy, or Psychology).
