ATS Accreditation
In addition, the School of Divinity is fully accredited by the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) Commission on Accrediting. We are accredited to offer our Master of Arts and Master of Divinity degrees through Distance Education/Online Learning at the maximum percentage that the ATS accrediting organization allows.
ATS limits online programs to thirty credits (half of the total credits) toward a sixty-credit Master of Arts degree and sixty credits (two-thirds of the total credits) toward a ninety-credit Master of Divinity degree. The remainder of the student's credits are taken during one-week modular courses or weekend courses on the Virginia Beach campus.
