Overview of Resources

ATS resources include Engage ATS (an online interactive community for those who work at ATS member schools), events, research findings, and a variety of other materials that address trends and best practices in theological education, as well as databases full of statistics about member schools and their students.

Annual Report Forms that member schools complete each fall provide extensive data about the member schools that are reported in the Annual Data Tables on this website. These data are also the basis for two statistical reports to assist schools in strategic planning, institutional evaluation, and policy development: the Institutional Peer Profile Report and the Strategic Information Report.

The Association also maintains a database on student perceptions of their theological education through the Entering and Graduating Student Questionnaires.

The ATS research function, a strategic priority of the Association’s work plan, ensures that all of the basic institutional and student data above are accessible and comprehensible to the membership and the public.
