Trinity's undergraduate programs benefits from the presence of the [[Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy]], which is housed in Devonshire House on college grounds. Many Trinity faculty members have offices in the Munk School. The Munk School also houses specialized research centers, such as the Asian Institute and the Centre for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies. The Munk School and its associated institutes host frequent lectures, panels, and events which are open to the Trinity community.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://munkschool.utoronto.ca/ |title=Welcome to Munk - Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy |publisher=Munkschool.utoronto.ca |date= |accessdate=2022-05-05}}</ref>

Beginning in 1837, representatives of the [[United Church of England and Ireland]] in Upper Canada met with the [[Society for Propagation of the Gospel]] to solicit support for fellowships to enable the education of local clergy.<ref name="westfall"/> With a guarantee of support, in 1841 Bishop Strachan requested his chaplains, Henry James Grasett and Henry Scadding of St. James' Cathedral, and Alexander Neil Bethune, then Rector of Cobourg, to prepare a plan for a systematic course in theology for those to be admitted to Holy Orders.<ref name="westfall"/> On January 10, 1842, the first lecture was given at the [[Diocesan Theological Institute]] in [[Cobourg, Ontario|Cobourg]]. In 1852, teaching was transferred to Toronto in the new Faculty of Divinity at Trinity College.<ref name="westfall">{{cite book | last = Westfall | first = William | title = The Founding Moment: Church, Society, and the Construction of Trinity College | publisher = [[McGill-Queen's University Press]] | year = 2002 | isbn = 0-7735-2447-9}}</ref> Trinity College absorbed the [[Diocesan Theological Institute]] in [[Cobourg, Ontario|Cobourg]] in 1852.<ref name="Pound 2005"/>

The Anglican seminary remains active in college life, with approximately a dozen worship services held weekly in the chapel.<ref name="ChapelServices">{{cite web|url=https://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/discover/about/chapel/services/|title=Chapel Services|website=www.trinity.utoronto.ca}}</ref> In recent years, the Orthodox School of Theology has also begun using the chapel for weekly services.

The approximately 100 graduate students enrolled in Trinity's Faculty of Divinity may take courses at other colleges at the [[Toronto School of Theology]]. At the basic degree level, Trinity offers several [[Master of Divinity]] programs - a basic program, a "collaborative learning" model with self-directed study components, and an honours programme, which includes a thesis. For students not seeking [[Holy Orders]], a [[Master of Theological Studies]] is offered, as well as a Certificate in Theological Studies. At the advanced degree level, students may pursue the [[Master of Arts]] in Theology, the [[Master of Theology]], the [[Doctor of Theology]] and the [[Doctor of Ministry]]. Applicants to the Ph.D. must hold an M.Div. Students can also enroll jointly in the M.Div. and MA.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/divinity/index.html|title=Study: Theology}}</ref>

In 2006, the Faculty of Divinity began offering an Orthodox and Eastern Christian Studies program. In 2015, this program developed into the Orthodox School of Theology, which offers courses on Eastern Orthodoxy within the Masters of Divinity program.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.trinityorthodox.ca/history|title=History &#124; Orthodox School of Theology at Trinity College|website=www.trinityorthodox.ca}}</ref>
