Administrative history

The Faculty of Theology is a Graduate Division of the University of St. Michael’s College. In 1954, the Ontario Legislature passes an amendment to the original St Michael’s College Act of 1855, granting St. Michael's College the right to grant degrees in theology. In 1978, St. Michael’s College entered into a contractual relationship with the University of Toronto whereby most degrees given within the Toronto School of Theology are conjointly conferred by the individual member colleges and the University of Toronto. As of 1 May 1979, the Faculty of Theology assumed governing responsibility for the Master of Arts (MA in Theology) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD in Theology) programs formerly conducted by the Institute of Christian Thought.

In 2022, the University of St. Michael’s College Faculty of Theology federated with Regis College to create a single academic entity, called the Regis St. Michael’s Faculty of Theology. The Regis St. Michael’s Faculty of Theology is a federation of Regis College, rooted in the Jesuit-Ignatian tradition, and the University of St. Michael’s College, rooted in the Basilian tradition. The Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph and the Loretto Sisters have been a vital part of the life and mission of both colleges. Regis St. Michael’s is an integral part of the Toronto School of Theology consortium in the University of Toronto. Regis College and the University of St. Michael’s College Faculty of Theology are accredited by the Association of Theological Schools.
