Atlantic School of Theology (AST) is accredited by the Association of Theological Schools. Our current accreditation was granted for a ten year period, the end of which is approaching, and so AST has applied for re-accreditation. This process has included the development of a Self-Study Report. We have engaged our stakeholders such as yourself in the development of that report, and it is now complete.
The next major step in the application process is a site visit to AST by an evaluation team appointed by the Association of Theological Schools. Our site visit will take place on October 21 – 24, 2019. Prior to the site visit, you are invited to comment in writing on AST’s qualifications for accreditation.
Comments are particularly welcome regarding the Association of Theological Schools General Institutional Standards, the Educational Standard, and Degree Program Standards. Standards and other information concerning accreditation are available at the Association website here:https://www.ats.edu/accrediting/standards-and-notations
If you wish provide comments please email them to Atlantic School of Theology at feedback@astheology.ns.ca or the Association of Theological Schools at accrediting@ats.edu
