Adelaide College of Divinity (ACD)


History
In 1979, St. Francis Xavier Seminary joined with other theological colleges in Adelaide to form the Adelaide College of Divinity (ACD). Since 1980, students from these colleges have enrolled in courses in the ACD and in undergraduate and postgraduate courses at Flinders University. The ACD is an ecumenical consortium, and each college retains its own identity, but cooperates within the ACD for joint teaching of courses in Theology.

Prior to October 1997, ACD teaching was carried out at one of the member colleges or at the Flinders University. In 1996 the Anglican, Catholic and Uniting churches purchased a common teaching site at Brooklyn Park and in September, 1997 the Anglican, Catholic and Uniting Church Colleges moved to what is now known as the ACD Campus. Teaching began on the new Campus in October 1997 and the Campus was officially opened in November that year. The owner churches have created an incorporated body to manage the Campus, the Adelaide Theological Colleges Campus, Inc. (ATCC).

Catholic Theological College of South Australia is now the Roman Catholic member college of the Adelaide College of Divinity (ACD) and as such is committed to ecumenical theological education and is an essential contributor to the degree programmes of the Flinders University and to the awards offered through the ACD

Other Colleges on the ACD Campus are Parkin-Wesley College (PWC - Uniting), St. Barnabas' Theological College (SBC - Anglican), Nungalinya College (NC) and Coolamon College (CO), the latter providing Courses solely in distance mode.
The ACD is itself a registered Higher Education Provider of theological education. The ACD offers accredited associate and bachelor degrees, graduate diplomas and a master degree in Ministry.

The ACD is also a Registered Training Organisation offering accredited certificates and a diploma in the Australian Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector.

The Adult Faith Education topics taught by the Catholic Theological College are accredited towards the awards in Certificates I, II and IV in Ministry
