UNIVERSITY OF ST. MICHAEL'S COLLEGE
Founded in 1852 by the Congregation of St. Basil and federated with the University of Toronto, the University of St. Michael’s College is a Catholic institution of higher learning. Committed to the pursuit of knowledge, meaning and truth, USMC is a dynamic centre of Catholic intellectual life boasting a vibrant undergraduate division and graduate Faculty of Theology and one of the busiest libraries at the University of Toronto.
St. Michael’s offers undergraduate programs in Celtic studies, Mediaeval studies, Christianity and culture and book and media studies. Its three SMC One programs take an interdisciplinary approach to questions of faith (the Gilson Seminar in Faith and Ideas), technology (the McLuhan Seminar in Creativity and Technology) and history (the Boyle Seminar in Scripts and Stories), and its First Year Foundations seminars engage new students in discussion-based university-level studies focused on a particular subject or theme.
The university’s Faculty of Theology offers a variety of graduate degrees and diploma programs, including the Master of Religious Education, the pastorally focused Master of Divinity and the academically oriented Master of Theological Studies degrees at the basic degree level, and research-oriented MA, ThM and PhD programs at the advanced level. Students can also pursue a post-baccalaureate certificate in Theological studies and a diploma in interfaith dialogue. The faculty is also home to the Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies, which focuses on the theology, spirituality, liturgy, history, and ecclesial polity of the Eastern Christian Churches, both Orthodox and Catholic.
The Continuing Education Division offers a well-regarded graduate diploma in social responsibility and sustainability.
