Doctor of Ministry Program Description |
This Doctor of Ministry program is designed in conformity with the Association of Theological School's degree standard for the DMin. This DMin is specifically designed and structured to serve the need for advanced ministerial education in Maryland that is ecumenical, adaptable, and integrative. This DMin program is ecumenical, intentionally designed for the broad spectrum of church traditions in Maryland (Catholic, Protestant, and non-denominational), a spectrum the SMSU's Ecumenical Institute is already educating effectively at the master's and post-master's level. This DMin program is adaptable for each student's ministry setting and focus, whether a traditional church based ministry or an emerging non-profit or bi-vocational model. This DMin is integrative, with a curriculum offering interdisciplinary courses and a faculty embodying the integration of theory and practice. |
