Program Overview

Program Description:

The Doctor of Ministry is the highest professional degree for ordained persons in the parish or related ministries. It is to be distinguished from other doctoral degrees such as the Th.D., S.T.D., and Ph.D. in that its primary emphasis is on the practice of ministry. The course and project work often is interdisciplinary in nature and usually involves applied exercises including library research and writing. A significant proportion of the program's requirements are to be met in the setting of the applicant's ministry rather than in residence.
