The Association seeks to fulfill this mission by engaging in four core functions of work: (1) accreditation, (2) leadership education for adminis- trative officers and faculty, (3) development of theological education, including applied research, and (4) data and communications. The ATS Bulletin, Part 2, Membership List is published annually by The Association of Theological Schools (ATS) to provide information about its member institutions. It is intended for general public use and lists all institutions that hold membership in ATS at the time of its printing. It is updated twice a year in its electronic form on the Internet at <www.ats.edu>. The statistical information on each member institution was provided to ATS by the schools on Annual Report Forms in the fall of 2002. The Membership List also contains the public information about the accredited status of member schools, as provided by the ATS Commission on Accred- iting. There are three categories of membership in the Association: Accred- ited Membership, Candidate for Accredited Membership, and Associate Membership. The member institutions are listed alphabetically by mem- bership category. Accredited Members are institutions that, after review on the basis of the Association's standards, are voted by the ATS Commission on Accrediting into Accredited Membership. Candidate for Accredited Membership schools are currently engaged in a self-study as part of their review by the ATS Commission on Accrediting for initial accreditation. Associate Members are not accredited but have met the requirements for Associate Membership as set forth in the ATS "Constitution" and "Proce- dures Related to Membership and Accreditation" (Bulletin, Part 1) and are voted into Associate Membership by the accredited member schools at Biennial Meetings of the Association. In fall 2003, there were 243 member schools of the Association: 217 accredited members, 12 candidates for accredited membership, and 14 associate members. The ATS Commission on Accrediting accredits institutions. To the right of each accredited institution's listing are dates that indicate: (1) year of initial accreditation and period of continuous accreditation, (2) year of last comprehensive evaluation visit, and (3) year (in parentheses) of the next comprehensive evaluation visit for reaffirmation of accreditation. The Commission on Accrediting also approves degree programs offered by accredited schools. There are two types of degree approval: ongoing and preliminary. Unless the designation "(preliminary)" appears following the degree, the degree has received ongoing approval from the Commission on Accrediting. When institutions offer complete degree programs at more than one location, the degrees are approved for each site at which the institution offers them in full. Because the Commission does not approve BEST COPY AVAILABLE degree programs of Candidates for Accredited Membership or Associate Members, the degree programs of those schools are not listed in the Membership List. Definitions of degree programs offered by the schools may be found in the ATS Bulletin, Part 1. A list of degree program abbreviations appears in this publication. Although some member schools also offer ecclesiastical or pontifical degrees, those degrees are not listed in this publication. Some ATS institutions grant degrees conjointly with other institutions or by virtue of their affiliation with other schools, and such information is noted. In the case of college-related or university-related schools, Ph.D. and M.A. degrees listed may be granted by the college or university with which the theological school is affiliated. Notations are imposed by the Commission on Accrediting in order to identify how and when, in the judgment of the Commission, principles contained in the accrediting standards are not being adequately translated into practice by an institution. Notations that have been imposed on an institution appear to the right of the institution's name. Notations that have been imposed with reference to a specific degree program are listed beside the degree, in parentheses. A summary of notations is included in this publication. Schools are listed alphabetically by their formal, corporate names. They are identified according to church/ denominational designations. Inter / multidenominational indicates that the school possesses multiple denominational affiliations with respect to governance, financial support, or other formal relationships; nondenominational indicates that the school has no official denominational affiliations.
