Description:

Vancouver School of Theology continues its long standing partnership with First Nations communities and its partnerships with inter-religious communities through Iona Pacific Inter-religious Centre to make possible a M.A. in Indigenous and Inter-religious Studies.

The purpose of this degree is to provide students with the opportunity to engage in research and writing in a context where three major monotheistic faith traditions meet North American indigenous traditions and vice versa. It will make available the unique resources of VST’s partner institutions, Iona Pacific (inter-religious) and Yuuhaadax (indigenous), in addition to VST’s core faculty to offer a distinctive academic experience, both intellectual and spiritual. The degree will prepare students to participate in an increasingly pluralistic world and equip them to meet the challenges of religious diversity.

Prerequisites:

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
    Admission requires a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution or the educational equivalent. For indigenous students, Yuuhaadax will be part of the assessment consultation. For others seeking recognition of equivalent experience or work, an assessment tool will be used.
