ACCREDITATION
Midwestern maintains professional and academic accreditation with two accrediting associations—the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) and the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (HLC). Associate membership with ATS began in December 1961. Full membership and accreditation were received on June 9, 1964. This accreditation is periodically reviewed and has been successfully maintained. ATS granted a separate accreditation of Midwestern’s Doctor of Ministry degree program in June 1977. ATS granted preliminary accreditation to the Master of Church Music degree in June 1991.
HLC awarded Midwestern accreditation of its professional master's degree programs in March 1971 and its professional Doctor of Ministry program in April 1975. Accreditation by this diversified and comprehensive agency assists Midwestern in accomplishing its professional objectives and commends its graduates to the larger academic and professional communities.
Questions or appeals regarding accreditation issues and/or matters needing outside mediation may be directed in writing to ATS at The Association of Theological Schools, 10 Summit Park Drive, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15275-1103, by phone at 412-788-6505, or by email at ats@ats.edu.
