Specialty Tracks
Doctor of Ministry students will select an area of ministry specialization during the application process. Once a ministry specialty track is selected, the student will continue and complete this program with the same faculty-mentor and classmates throughout the three year residency.
The following tables provide information regarding upcoming specialty tracks and residency dates. Please be advised that extensive reading and preparation work is assigned about six months prior to residency. Participants should plan to devote 12 hours per week in preparation for the residency. We recommend applying for the Doctor of Ministry program six months in advance of residency.
