The Association of Theological Schools/Commission on Accrediting has reaffirmed the accreditation of Freed-Hardeman University’s Graduate School of Theology for the next 10 years, until March 31, 2032. FHU President David R. Shannon was notified by a letter from James Moore, ATS Director of Accreditation.

The reaffirmation followed a November 2021 visit from a four-member ATS team. They had reviewed a document of nearly 1,000 pages before interviewing administrators, faculty, staff and students. In addition to the 10-year reaffirmation, ATS approved all graduate programs currently offered through the FHU School of Theology. This includes the newly launched Doctor of Ministry program that begins this fall, according to Dr. Justin Rogers, director of FHU’s Graduate School of Theology.

In addition to the D.Min., FHU offers five master’s degree programs: Master of Divinity, Master of Arts in New Testament, Master of Arts in Old Testament, Master of Arts in Ministry and Master of Arts in Pastoral Care and Counseling.

The ATS committee encouraged FHU to maintain the following distinctive strengths of the program: longstanding commitment to the priority of biblical studies and faithful adherence to the doctrinal distinctives of its primary constituency, the churches of Christ; the helpfulness and timeliness of library staff in responding to information requests; the spirit of collegiality among faculty and administration; the progress made by FHU in promoting faculty scholarship; and the significant resources made available to the Graduate School of Theology by virtue of its being embedded in a growing university with much larger financial, human, library and technological resources. Additional information about FHU’s Graduate School of Theology is available online at grad-theology@fhu.edu or by calling 731-989-6622.

The mission of Freed-Hardeman University is to help students develop their God-given talents for His glory by empowering them with an education that integrates Christian faith, scholarship and service. With locations in Henderson, Memphis and Dickson, FHU offers associates, bachelor’s, master’s, specialist and doctoral degrees. More information is available at fhu.edu.
