Measures Of Institutional Effectiveness
To ensure that our educational programs have their intended impact for the good of the church and world, Lancaster Seminary assesses the effectiveness of our programs.
One of the ways we do this is to ask our graduating students to compete the Association of Theological Schools Graduating Student Questionnaire. The GSQ is used by accredited seminaries of all types, sizes, and denominations across the United States and Canada. It asks graduates to rate aspects of the education they received and their experience using a scale from 1 (worst) to 5 (best). These are the most recent GSQ results for Lancaster Seminary.
