Educational Effectiveness

The seminary is accredited by the Commission on Accrediting of the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) in the United States and Canada, which requires that all member schools report on their educational effectiveness as it relates to graduation and placement rates of their students. Below, you will find information related to the graduation and placement rates of our students by degree:

Graduation Rate

Graduation rate information for the five most recent academic years is displayed in the tables below. Each table gives information pertaining to the class that enrolled during the Academic Year indicated. Note that graduation rates are not yet available for some degree programs (i.e., DLd, MALC) due to recency of program launch.

50% of students are part time and graduate in four to six years. This data is based on the completion rates for full-time students who finish in two to three years.

Discontinued (*) includes students who changed degree programs. Each year a proportion of students become clear about the best degree for them and switch programs.
