Association of Chicago Theological Schools (ACTS)

The Association of Chicago Theological Schools (ACTS) is a consortium of 12 theological seminaries located in the Chicago area. ACTS makes it possible for students to work, study and interact with people from many cultural and theological traditions through cross-registration and library access and acquisition—all at no additional charge.

All 12 schools that currently make up ACTS are:
• accredited by the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada.
• affiliated with or sponsored by a denomination, a diocese, a religious organization, or several religious orders.

All offer:
• professional degree programs for ministry at the master's and doctoral levels, and most also offer other academic degrees.
• continuing education for clergy and lay leaders, as well as conferences, lectures, and other programs of interest to a wider public.

Together, the schools within ACTS offer a rich network of resources for theological education, making the association one of the outstanding centers of theological education in the world. Available to the approximately 2,500 students currently enrolled at its member schools are about 350 faculty, some 750 courses offered annually, and library collections of 1.7 million volumes and nearly 5,000 currently received periodical subscriptions.
