Introduction
T
he mission of The Association of Theological Schools in the United
States and Canada is to promote the improvement and enhancement of
theological schools to the benefit of communities of faith and the broader
public. The Association seeks to fulfill this mission by engaging in four core
functions of work: (1) accreditation, (2) leadership education for adminis-
trative officers and faculty, (3) development of theological education,
including applied research, and (4) data and communications.
The ATS Bulletin, Part 2, Membership List is published annually by The
Association of Theological Schools (ATS) to provide information about its
member institutions. It is intended for general public use and lists all
institutions that hold membership in ATS at the time of its printing. It is
updated twice a year in its electronic form on the Internet at <www.ats.edu>.
The statistical information on each member institution was provided to
ATS by the schools on Annual Report Forms in the fall of 2002. The
Membership List also contains the public information about the accredited
status of member schools, as provided by the ATS Commission on Accred-
iting.
There are three categories of membership in the Association: Accred-
ited Membership, Candidate for Accredited Membership, and Associate
Membership. The member institutions are listed alphabetically by mem-
bership category. Accredited Members are institutions that, after review on
the basis of the Association's standards, are voted by the ATS Commission
on Accrediting into Accredited Membership. Candidate for Accredited
Membership schools are currently engaged in a self-study as part of their
review by the ATS Commission on Accrediting for initial accreditation.
Associate Members are not accredited but have met the requirements for
Associate Membership as set forth in the ATS "Constitution" and "Proce-
dures Related to Membership and Accreditation" (Bulletin, Part 1) and are
voted into Associate Membership by the accredited member schools at
Biennial Meetings of the Association.
In fall 2003, there were 243 member schools of the Association: 217
accredited members, 12 candidates for accredited membership, and 14
associate members.
The ATS Commission on Accrediting accredits institutions. To the right
of each accredited institution's listing are dates that indicate: (1) year of
initial accreditation and period of continuous accreditation, (2) year of last
comprehensive evaluation visit, and (3) year (in parentheses) of the next
comprehensive evaluation visit for reaffirmation of accreditation.
The Commission on Accrediting also approves degree programs offered
by accredited schools. There are two types of degree approval: ongoing and
preliminary. Unless the designation "(preliminary)" appears following the
degree, the degree has received ongoing approval from the Commission on
Accrediting. When institutions offer complete degree programs at more
than one location, the degrees are approved for each site at which the
institution offers them in full. Because the Commission does not approve
BEST COPY AVAILABLE
degree programs of Candidates for Accredited Membership or Associate
Members, the degree programs of those schools are not listed in the
Membership List.
Definitions of degree programs offered by the schools may be found in
the ATS Bulletin, Part 1. A list of degree program abbreviations appears in
this publication. Although some member schools also offer ecclesiastical or
pontifical degrees, those degrees are not listed in this publication. Some
ATS institutions grant degrees conjointly with other institutions or by
virtue of their affiliation with other schools, and such information is noted.
In the case of college-related or university-related schools, Ph.D. and M.A.
degrees listed may be granted by the college or university with which the
theological school is affiliated.
Notations are imposed by the Commission on Accrediting in order to
identify how and when, in the judgment of the Commission, principles
contained in the accrediting standards are not being adequately translated
into practice by an institution. Notations that have been imposed on an
institution appear to the right of the institution's name. Notations that have
been imposed with reference to a specific degree program are listed beside
the degree, in parentheses. A summary of notations is included in this
publication.
Schools are listed alphabetically by their formal, corporate names.
They are identified according to church/ denominational designations.
Inter / multidenominational indicates that the school possesses multiple
denominational affiliations with respect to governance, financial support,
or other formal relationships; nondenominational indicates that the school
has no official denominational affiliations. Also included are a list of all
schools by province or state and an alphabetical list of chief administrative
and chief academic officers.
Organizations with a substantial interest in theological education but
not involved in educational programs leading to a degree, as well as schools
offering graduate theological degrees but not in the Christian or Jewish
faiths, may be granted Affiliate Status with the Association upon the
recommendation of the Executive Committee and the vote of the member-
ship (see Bulletin, Part 1). A list of these organizations is also included, along
with a list of the committees of the Association.
The Membership List is intended to provide brief descriptions of the
institutional and organizational resources for graduate theological educa-
tion provided by ATS member institutions. More detailed information
about a particular school should be sought from the school itself. The ATS
website <www.ats.edu> provides links to the home pages of most of the
member institutions. Inquiries regarding the Association should be di-
rected to its office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
