On May 8, The Master’s University will host its 99th annual Commencement Ceremony at the school’s campus, beginning at 6 p.m.

The 2026 graduating class includes a total of 438 students, including 300 traditional undergraduates, 70 online undergraduate students, and 68 graduate students. Three of this year’s graduates are students in TMU’s new Doctor of Ministry in Biblical Counseling program.

Dr. Thomas Halstead, dean of TMU’s School of Biblical Studies, is scheduled to give this year’s Commencement address.

This is the sixth year that TMU will be hosting its Commencement ceremony on its own campus. Space is limited and all guests must possess a ticket for entry.

As a part of this shift to campus, the University is continuing to refine traffic mitigation in Placerita Canyon on event day. The University is partnering with law enforcement to direct traffic and has developed a strategic parking plan to help guests enter and exit the canyon efficiently.

TMU’s community engagement department is also sending postcards to canyon residents with details about the day’s schedule and expected high-traffic windows.
