A primary purpose of the ATS Commission on Accrediting is “to collect data from all members of ATS for use in accrediting and to provide the data resources supporting applied research undertaken by ATS” (COA Bylaws 1.2). This page provides some of that data publicly in the form of annual summaries of data collected each year from all ATS member schools. Since 2003–04, these annual summaries of data have been published as the Annual Data Tables (click here for the most recent edition). Prior to 2003–04, these annual summaries were published as the Fact Book on Theological Education (since 1978–79).
