The Board of Commissioners of the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada recently voted to extend their accreditation of Acadia Divinity College for another 10-year term, without notation. This affirmation follows an extensive 18-month self-study process by the College, the submission of a lengthy report summarizing the findings of the self-study, and a three-day peer review visit by representatives from the Association. In the Association’s letter extending accreditation, the College was commended for its “highly accomplished and effective faculty”, its “financial health”, and its senior leadership who have built “a culture of trust and engagement with internal and external stakeholders”.
Commenting on this achievement, the President of the College, Dr. Harry Gardner said, “ The decision of the Board of Commissioners of ATS to grant a further ten year term of accreditation speaks of a high level of confidence that will ensure present and future students that the quality of theological education and the excellence of the institution is outstanding”.
The College is positioned well for growth in all of its programs through the recent development of a new curriculum and delivery system that extends beyond Metro Halifax to New Brunswick.
