DMin Courses & Syllabi

DMin Courses & Syllabi

Here is a list of upcoming  Doctor of Ministry (DMin)  courses. Reading lists or Syllabi will be posted with each course 10-12 weeks before the course starting date. Students must complete the reading before the first day of class, so plan accordingly.
All courses listed are part of the Advanced Ministry Track and any Cohorts with spots available for "non-cohort" students. Courses restricted to Cohorts only will not be shows and syllabi will be distributed by Cohort Mentors directly.
Syllabi can also be found on  Canvas  for students registered in that class.
If you have any questions about syllabi, upcoming courses, or anything else related to the Doctor of Ministry, please reach out the  Joel Hathaway, Director of the DMin program.
