ABSTRACT: Using spring 1990 data from Association of
Theological Schools' Annual Report Forms, this book
provides information on parallel patterns and trends among
theological schools for long-range planning and for
visiting accreditation teams who seek to monitor a school's
progress. The first chapter consists of seven tables
describing institutions in terms of the most common
identifying characteristics such as finances, personnel,
and enrollment. The second chapter, "Enrollment," presents
data on: applications, acceptances, and enrollees;
admission policies; various enrollment combinations; total
full-time equivalent enrollment patterns; comparable
enrollments; total enrollment comparisons by degree types,
by degree, gender and race; denominational affiliation; and
completions. A third chapter, on personnel compensation,
contains data on trends in the United States and Canada,
vis a vis various benefits, by school size and
accreditation status, by country, and by highest degree;
the chapter also provides compensation comparisons by
denomination of school, and shows distribution of
administrative compensation as between university and
nonuniversity affiliated schools. A final chapter,
"Finance, Tuition Costs, Revenues and Expenditures," treats
average Master of Divinity tuition charges, average
doctoral charges, revenue and expenditures per full-time
equivalent student, revenue sources, expenditure sources,
educational and general expense per student, trends in
financial data, ratio of surplus or deficit, and
distribution of endowment assets. The bulk of
the data is in tables each with accompanying explanation.
