ATA is composed of Interdenominational Theological Center, Candler School of Theology, Columbia Theological Seminary, Erskine Theological Seminary, and the Georgia Association for Pastoral Care.
Doctor of Theology in Pastoral Counseling (Th.D.)
The purpose of the Doctor of Theology in Pastoral Counseling degree is to prepare persons for the specialized ministry of pastoral counseling at a doctoral level of competence. The degree is intended to be an equivalent for the Ph.D. for those whose interest in pastoral counseling is primarily professional and theological. The supervision in pastoral counseling, which is an integral part of the degree program, is provided according to the standards of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC) and the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT). It may, therefore, be used to meet the supervisory hours required for AAPC and AAMFT membership.
The Doctor of Ministry and Doctor of Theology in Pastoral Counseling degrees are offered in cooperation with other seminaries and agencies in the Atlanta Theological Association
