What Regis College - University of Toronto does

Regis College is a Jesuit postgraduate theological school and one of North America's Roman Catholic ecclesiastical faculties, operating as a constituent college of the University of Toronto. Founded in 1930 and located at 100 Wellesley St. W. in Toronto, Canada, the institution offers a portfolio of academic programs spanning certificate programs (Certificate in Theological Studies, Certificate in Theology and Interreligious Engagement), basic graduate degrees (Master of Divinity, Master of Psychospiritual Studies, Master of Arts in Ministry and Spirituality, Master of Theological Studies, and Diploma in Spiritual Direction), advanced graduate degrees (M.A. in Theological Studies, Th.M., D.Min., Ph.D.), and ecclesiastical degrees (S.T.B., S.T.L., S.T.D.) under Catholic canonical authority. It also runs continuous learning programming through the Windows on Theology lecture series, Tea-Time Theology discussions, and Faith Issues Today events.

The college is a founding member of the Toronto School of Theology (TST), an ecumenical consortium affiliated with the University of Toronto, and partners with the University of St. Michael's College through the Regis St. Michael's Faculty of Theology to integrate Jesuit-Ignatian and Basilian traditions. Technology infrastructure is built around University of Toronto platforms (ACORN student portal, Quercus LMS, ROSI student information system), with ancillary systems including MailChimp for email communications, Stripe and NeonOne for payments, Zoom for virtual events, and embedded YouTube content delivery. Data systems are consolidated with the Jesuits of Canada and the University of St. Michael's College.

The institution operates as a non-profit educational entity generating revenue through tuition and fees from degree-seeking students, supplemented by donations processed via NeonOne and Canada Helps, and grants from philanthropic funders. In November 2025, Regis College was awarded a $1.4 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc.'s Pathways for Tomorrow initiative to support the Walking in Service pastoral formation project, administered through Jesuit Conference Inc. The institution also operates a wholly owned subsidiary, the Msgr. John Mary Fraser Centre for Practical Theology, focused on practical theology education and research.
