Tracks - Doctor of Ministry Program

Tracks

With over a dozen specialized tracks, there is an area of study matching your needs within our Doctor of Ministry program! Each track listed below runs every 3 years, so apply today for earliest entry. One exception is Pastoral Theology in Practice (Charlotte, NC or Hamilton, MA), which accepts students every year, into one of 3 cohorts (February, April or October). Contact Admissions Lead for more information: [email protected].

With rolling admissions, you can complete an application from anytime dates go live until the completed application deadline.

We recommend applying 6-8 months before the first residency.  Applying early helps new students start strong, since you will be given the syllabus to begin readings and assignments, and is especially important for international leaders who also need a visa in order to attend residency.
