[edit] Accreditation
They're accredited, per CHEA.

[edit] OPA
The government's Office of Postsecondary Accreditation lists them as having one national accreditation[2]: that of the "Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada, Commission on Accrediting" It is for "Freestanding schools, as well as programs affiliated with larger institutions, offering graduate professional education for ministry and graduate study of theology". They're a licensed federal accreditor, so this looks legit.
I don't have the first idea how to phrase that in a clear and concise manner, though, so I'm going to leave it here on the talk page and hope that someone else can sort it out.-Colin Kimbrell 19:37, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] No wonder...
...nobody near me has stock of whitewash these days! It's all being used on fundamentalist colleges! Just zis Guy you know? 22:02, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] OVERHAUL
I just did a complete overhaul of the page, including multiple sources, good wikification, and hopefully no spelling errors. ;) Updated "notable alumni" page and made it into a multi-column format because I <3 those. Added pics of books. Fleshed out the history. Most of the edit history of this article is vandalism and reverts, so very little actual content was changed. I hope everyone agrees with what I did. If not, well, it's a wiki. You change it! :) --shift6 04:33, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Assessment
I gave it start given the content of the article, and the decent list of Alumni/staff. Low importance, there is little ascertation of notability. Twenty Years 16:01, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
- How much importance would a reasonably old, decent sized seminary receive in the Schools Wikiproject? What have other seminaries received as a benchmark to use? Honest question, as this type of "university" is more specialized than most. --shift6 (talk) 06:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] David Otis Fuller
David Otis Fuller keeps getting put back here. He DID NOT graduate from DTS. His co-founder of the Dean Burgon Society, D.A. Waite, DID go to DTS, but Fuller did not. He is nowhere to be found in their listing of alumni that is published each year, and he earned his master's from Princeton, not Dallas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.91.34.33 (talk) 22:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Dts-logo.png
Image:Dts-logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
