Major Sequences Candidates for the Th.Schol. are required to complete and to receive the Tyndale College A.C.Th. and L.Th. certificates, and to complete the requirements of Level Three, that is, in total, twenty-four Subject Units and three Residential Units. Candidates may be granted exemption by the Council, upon the recommendation of the Faculty, for up to half of these Subject Units on the basis of equivalent Recognized Prior Learning [RPL] completed at another institution approved by the Council. These external subjects then count as if they were Tyndale Units for purposes of fulfilling these requirements for majors and sub-majors.
Candidates are required to complete a program which includes either two Major sequences and one Submajor, or one Major sequence and two Submajors. A Major sequence consists of at least six Subject Units (54 credit points) from the Units assigned to the Major (as set out below), including no more than two Subject Units (18 credit points) at First Level. A Submajor consists of at least four Subject Units (36 credit points) from the Units assigned to the major, including no more than two Subject Units (18 credit points) at First Level.
In choosing their Units, Candidates may undertake a Major sequence in any of the eight disciplines available through the College. Candidates will need to note:
(a) which subjects in a sequence have prerequisites, and
(b) how the subjects for such series are spread through the three Levels of the overall program, and plan their program accordingly.
