Program Information

Degree Offered

Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.)

Format: Campus

Program Description:

It demands both a "group process" (of finding your passion and becoming a prophet) and a "professional contribution" (an implemented, evaluated and critically articulated act of ministry) in a professional thesis project. The degree requires at least six semesters for completion, and features a stellar, mobile faculty and flexible curriculum. Most groups form in the fall, continue to meet through winter and spring, and come together after the first year for a four-week summer intensive at the Drew campus. The program culminates in a professional project and publishable paper of one's process, findings and learnings.
