    Academic Calendar 2015-2016 Published by the Office of the Registrar Tyndale University College & Seminary 3377 Bayview Avenue Toronto, Ontario M2M 3S4 Message from the Academic Dean In Matthew 22, Jesus imparts His greatest commandment: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” At Tyndale University College, we strive to embody Christ’s calling in every discipline. Students will encounter subjects taught from a distinctly Christian point of view and engage with faculty, trained at prestigious universities from around the world, for whom Christ’s Dr. Barry Smith commandment resonates deeply within their person, their research and their teaching. We believe that to love the Lord our God with heart, soul and mind is to understand His story, a story of truth, hope and healing, to embrace it as a learning community, and to proclaim it to the world. Tyndale is committed to imparting this story to our students through academic experiences and community involvement so that they may grow in knowledge and faith and use their gifts to affect the community and culture around them.

  • Application for Name Change
    3377 Bayview Avenue TEL: 416.226.6620 Toronto, ON www.tyndale.ca M2M 3S4 Application for Name Change Executive Summary Tyndale University College & Seminary was established through an act of legislation in 2003 as a natural progression of over 125 years of history of providing post-secondary education in the province of Ontario. The change in legislation afforded Tyndale the opportunity to provide undergraduate university quality education through a series of Bachelor of Arts (BA) degrees to complement a thriving graduate school (Tyndale Seminary) whose recognition as a tier one graduate school for theological education and counselling psychotherapy was known throughout North America. The undergraduate programs have complemented the graduate school by providing a quality undergraduate university opportunity. Undergraduate student learning outcomes are similar to any BA program in the province; however, the nomenclature University College has proven difficult to explain and market. Tyndale is one of only two independent University Colleges in the province not federated/affiliated with any institutional member of the Council of Ontario Universities. Students and families who are making post-secondary decisions are, therefore, unfamiliar with the term and interpret it to mean something less than a university degree. In jurisdictions outside of Ontario, most of the provinces have moved away from the nomenclature of University College preferring that all of their undergraduate universities are known as Universities. This has created a hardship in our ability to attract students both from within and outside of the province. We strongly believe that a private faith based university in the city of Toronto can attract and grow its enrolment by attracting students from other Canadian jurisdictions while at the same time keeping students in Ontario who are considering our competitors.
