Taylor students serve all over the world, and we continue to attract students from many different cultures and backgrounds. Students find a welcoming and hospitable environment, and our students are some of our best recruiters!

Taylor Seminary is a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Alberta, Canada, and is eligible to receive foreign nationals on a study permit. Upon acceptance these students are issued an International Letter of Acceptance with the appropriate DLI number which allows them to apply to Citizen and Immigration Canada (CIC) for a study permit.

Taylor Seminary offers several master's degrees (including our new 77-hour MDiv), four diploma programs, and a number of graduate certificates, all carefully designed to prepare students for a lifetime of effective Christian service. Intercultural Studies and TESOL courses are among our offerings. Courses are offered within a distinctly Christian atmosphere that emphasizes spiritual formation and field education.

There are a limited number of suites available on campus for students, including some with full kitchens. It is expected that students in residence would stay through to the end of the full academic term; 30-days notice is required to move off campus before the end of the semester.

There are a number of apartment buildings within walking or bus distance from Taylor Seminary. You may also consider applying for a Homestay program where you can live with an English speaking family and gain experience with the language and culture. Students who live off-campus are responsible for finding their own accommodations.

Orientation and a welcoming lunch help new students get to know the faculty, administration and student leadership, and there are numerous events throughout each semester that help foster a sense of community for all students. These include chapel services (bi-weekly), retreats, as well as social events planned by the Taylor Seminary Students Association (canoe trips, film nights, BBQs, etc.).

Taylor has made Field Education a deliberate and careful focus over a number of years, seeking to help our students gain real-world ministry experience in churches and other pastoral care settings (eg., hospitals) as well as guidance from practitioner/mentors and from Spiritual Directors. A new Director of Supervised Ministry will be advising MDiv students with their long-term placement.

The Taylor Seminary Students' Association (TSSA) organizes many social, ministry and community-building activities throughout the year - many of them involving great food! There are also numerous other opportunities to learn, serve and have fun with fellow students through Taylor Seminary and its sister organization, the E P Wahl Centre. Many of these events are low-cost or free.

WiFi is provided at no charge to students. Computers and a printer are also provided in a study area for student use.

Taylor Seminary is affiliated with the NAB Conference (North American Baptists). A partnership relationship exists with the Urban Sanctuary, a spiritual formation ministry located on the campus. Another branch of Taylor is the E P Wahl Centre, which offers non-credit training, education and service opportunities (including the Conservatory of Music).

Taylor Seminary often coordinates a 'Global Study Tour', a missional experience that takes a class to international locations for study and service. Previous classes have traveled to such places as Spain, Zambia and Palestine. Taylor is also active in a partnership with the Cameroon Baptist Theological Seminary, in conjunction with Sioux Falls Seminary in South Dakota.

You are welcome to tour our campus anytime! Just call ahead to make the arrangements - we'd love to show you around.
