Welcome 

The Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada (ATS) is a membership organization of more than 250 graduate schools that conduct post-baccalaureate professional and academic degree programs to educate persons for the practice of ministry and for teaching and research in the theological disciplines. The Commission on Accrediting of ATS accredits the schools and approves the degree programs they offer.

The Promise Fulfilled: Five Pastors Talk About Their Theological Education
A video tool for recruiting and development
Changing patterns in church life have altered the relationships of theological schools to the denominations, churches, and ecclesial communities they serve. Yet these relationships are essential to the integrity and quality of theological education. First aired at the Biennial Meeting in June, this video captures the informal reflections of five pastors who affirm the critical and enduring value of their theological education for their lives and ministry. Free copies of this DVD are available to member schools (one per school) until December 31 by contacting Nadine Banks.

Aleshire's Latest Book Released
Earthen Vessels: Hopeful Reflections on the Work and Future of Theological Schools is now available through Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. 
Aleshire explores the work of theological schools—learning, teaching, research, administering, and governing—and describes the positive value of these areas of work when done faithfully and well.
