By entering into agreements with other theological educational institutions, Huron has ensured that students across Canada, and across denominational traditions, will have a full range of course options. This is a pre-degree diploma program intended for those who take seriously a call to Ministry while recognizing that “Ministry” is manifested in many diverse yet equal ways.  For example, the LTh may be:

  • for your personal development,
  • to deepen your knowledge for discipleship, or
  • for those contemplating Ordained Ministry, or
  • for those preparing for Diaconal Ministry, or
  • for those already engaged in Ministry who are seeking to complement their education.

Course Requirements:

A total of 16 courses, with an overall average of 65%, will be needed for successful completion of the LTh. The courses will usually run for 6 weeks at 2-3 contact hours per week; however, on-line and intensive courses will also be offered.

Of the 16 courses, you will need to complete: 

  • 2 in the core area of Theological Studies
  • 2 in the core area of Sacred Texts
  • 2 in the core area of History of Religion
  • 10 Electives

Admission Requirement:   Applicants must hold a secondary school graduation diploma or equivalent.

Transfer Credit Policy: for information on transferring credits from other theological schools into Huron’s LTh program, refer to our LTh Transfer Credit Policy.

The Rev. Canon Dr. Grayhame Bowcott, or “Gray” as he is known by his students, serves in a cross appointment as a parish priest in the Diocese of Huron and as our Program Director for Huron University College’s Licentiate in Theology Program. He also has been appointed by the Bishop of Huron as a Canon Catechist (or Teacher) in support of lay leaders and clergy throughout the congregations in the Diocese of Huron. Gray is passionate about enabling vocational leaders in the local church and helping students to access theological education, even in remote areas. This focus has inspired him to seek out new relationships between students, lay leaders, bishops, dioceses and other theological institutions in order to shape the network of courses that the Licentiate Program has blossomed into. Gray is always willing to take a call to answer questions or to explore ministry possibilities with his students.
