Doctor of Ministry
The Doctor of Ministry (DMIN) program at Wesley Seminary rotates its emphasis each year. The program is designed to allow working ministers to earn a doctorate in leadership while maintaining their pastoral positions. The program is predominately completed online with two weeks of residential courses each year. The first phase of the DMIN is finished when course work is completed and the three chapters the student has written during the research courses have been submitted and approved as a project proposal. Students then enter the project phase, where the student and his/her project advisor conduct the study, gather results and draw conclusions. This second phase could be completed in one year; however, students have four years to finish the project phase.
In May of 2016, the first DMIN concentration launched with an emphasis in transformational leadership.
In June of 2017, the second DMIN concentration launched with an emphasis in transformational preaching.
In June of 2018, the third DMIN concentration launched with an emphasis in spiritual formation.
