Who’s It For?
The ThM is for those whose ministry is academically focused, who wish to explore a particular facet of ministry, or who wish to undertake a project in preparation for doctoral studies. Students graduating with a ThM have been admitted for doctoral degrees at Wycliffe and other ATS-accredited universities, colleges, and seminaries.
Career Opportunities
The Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP) allows students who have graduated from eligible Canadian designated learning institutions (DLIs) to obtain an open work permit to gain valuable Canadian work experience. Skilled Canadian work experience in National Occupational Classification (NOC) skill type 0 or skill level A or B that is gained through the PGWPP helps graduates qualify for permanent residence in Canada through the Canadian experience class within Express Entry.
