Affiliates

Organizations holding affiliate status with ATS are not members of the Association. They are organizations with a substantial interest in theological education but not involved in educational programs leading to a degree, or they are schools offering graduate theological degrees and related to identifiable communities of faith other than the Christian and Jewish faiths. Upon initial application and subsequent recommendation by the ATS Board of Directors, ATS affiliates are elected by a two-thirds vote of the members present and voting at a meeting of the Association. Affiliate status carries eligibility for appointment to committees and voice but no vote in Association meetings. ATS affiliates pay annual dues as prescribed by the Association. Affiliate status is granted for a six-year term and may be renewed.

Schools wishing to become members of The Association of Theological Schools must complete the Associate Membership Application Form pursuant to the Procedures Related to Membership in The Association of Theological Schools. The application fee is $5,000, invoiced in two installments (see pages 1-2 of the application form, linked above). The deadline for submitting the application is September 1 of the year preceding the upcoming ATS/COA Biennial Meeting, which is held in June of even-numbered years (i.e., the next submission deadline is September 1, 2023, in advance of the 2024 ATS/COA Biennial Meeting).
