Joint Academic Committee of the Atlantic School of Theology and Saint Mary’s University

 

Affiliation with the Atlantic School of Theology

Since March 2002 Saint Mary’s University (SMU) has been affiliated with the Atlantic School of Theology (AST) in Halifax. Both institutions are committed to establishing and promoting joint and complementary academic courses and programs. They are also committed to achieving the operational efficiencies that will strengthen each institution to fulfill each other’s educational mission and service to the churches and to society. While each institution retains its independent status and grants its own degrees, there are opportunities for joint programming that are a regular part of SMU’s program offerings. Students at SMU are able to explore new avenues for theological education such as inter-faith dialogue, which is becoming a major part of the societal context in which ministry now must exercise its calling.
