Accreditation and Affiliations
ITC is accredited to award masters and doctoral degrees by both the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada. In December 2011, the Southern Association's Commission on Colleges denied ITC a reaffirmation of accreditation and placed the school on "warning" status, citing concerns regarding several areas, including institutional planning, outcomes evaluation, and financial controls. The Commission was scheduled to reconsider ITC's accreditation status after one year, in December 2012.
ITC is the only graduate institution of theological education that is a member of the United Negro College Fund. ITC is one of the five organizations that form the Atlanta Theological Association, which also includes Candler School of Theology, Columbia Theological Seminary, Erskine Theological Seminary, and the Georgia Association for Pastoral Care. Other ITC affiliations include membership in the Atlanta University Center and the Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education.

Famous quotes containing the word affiliations:
“All the critics who could not make their reputations by discovering you are hoping to make them by predicting hopefully your approaching impotence, failure and general drying up of natural juices. Not a one will wish you luck or hope that you will keep on writing unless you have political affiliations in which case these will rally around and speak of you and Homer, Balzac, Zola and Link Steffens.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
