Students choose Alliance Theological Seminary (ATS) for various reasons. Some intend to pursue traditional ministry careers, while others are seeking to gain personal enrichment and more effective ministry skills. Some reside on the main campus while many choose to commute, taking advantage of the convenient scheduling. Whatever the reason, ATS is a community of men and women committed to furthering their ability to minister the Word of God effectively. They are a diverse group of qualified individuals who come from a variety of backgrounds and countries. ATS is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant students (F-1 status) and welcomes qualified students from other countries who are pursuing further training and preparation for gospel ministry in their own countries.

Diversity provides a rich learning environment. The opportunity to study with colleagues who possess different world views and ideas, challenges each student's thinking. You'll find that ATS community life is a reflection of this diversity: a vibrant Chinese and Korean student body that provides a personal and academic support group for international students, an active missions committee that sponsors the Festival of Missions Week held each Spring, a student life committee that advises the seminary in the development of programs and services aimed at enhancing community life, and a variety of small groups throughout the seminary community.
