Horizon MCS

Horizon or MCS? Where should I apply?

Horizon and MCS share nearly identical undergraduate programs and you are welcome to apply to whichever school you wish, but applications typically follow a different pattern depending on where you live and whether you’re in a church with the PAOC (Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada) or a different church denomination.

PAOC Students

PAOC students living in Ontario and east of Ontario typically apply to MCS, and PAOC students in Saskatchewan or Manitoba typically apply to Horizon.

Other Denominations

Students with the Alliance, Church of God (Cleveland), Mennonite Brethren, Redeemed Christian Church of God, and other church denominations are mostly served through Horizon.

Other Considerations

Although the program content for Horizon and MCS are the same, each school offers different undergraduate degree designations based on the province they operate in. Students graduating from Horizon can graduate with a B.A. or B.Th. designation whereas students graduating from MCS will graduate with the B.Th. or B.R.E. designation. Students studying anywhere can choose which school and degree designation they prefer!
