The Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada (ATS) is an organization of seminaries and other graduate schools of theology. ATS has its headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States.

History

The ATS was founded in 1918. Its 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 has the association's executive director since July 2017. As of January 2024, the ATS listed 278 member schools.
