The Graduate Degree programs are awarded conjointly by Emmanuel College and the University of Toronto and are administered by the Toronto School of Theology (TST). TST is an ecumenical federation of theological colleges within the U of T: Emmanuel College, Knox College, Regis College, St. Augustine's Seminary, University of St. Michael's College Faculty of Theology, University of Trinity College Faculty of Divinity and Wycliffe College.

Students have a home college, such as Emmanuel, but enjoy the rewards, services and resources available at the Toronto School of Theology and University of Toronto.

In 2019, the University of Toronto was named no. 1 in Canada, and no. 11 internationally, for “Theology, Divinity & Religious Studies,” by the QS World University Rankings. As a member school of the Toronto School of Theology, the graduate programs of Emmanuel College contribute to excellence in these rankings. Toronto is also listed as one of the top three student-friendly cities in Canada.
