The Doctor of Ministry (DMin) degree is a professional program intended for persons who are in full-time vocational Christian ministry, such as pastors, associate pastors, Christian educators, ministers of worship, missionaries, workers in denominational or parachurch organizations, evangelists, etc., both domestic and international.

The DMin degree is designed to enhance professional competence in ministry and therefore will require both research and praxis.

The DMin degree is an in-ministry, non-residential program enabling students to complete a course of study in higher education while remaining in full-time ministry.
