The Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada (ATS) and the ATS Commission on Accrediting accredit and support a membership of more than 270 graduate theology schools in North America. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, ATS was founded in 1918. The Association's stated mission is "to promote the improvement and enhancement of theological schools to the benefit of communities of faith and the broader public."

The ATS Commission on Accrediting provides graduate schools of theology with accreditation. It is recognized by both the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the United States Department of Education as an accrediting body.

Frank M. Yamada became the association's executive director in 2017.
