Seminaries with D.Min. Degrees - SaBC (Seminaries and Bible Colleges)

The Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) is a doctoral-level professional degree. The degree has a strong practical emphasis compared to other graduate theology degrees offered by seminaries.

Most accredited D.Min. degree programs require students to have a master of divinity (M.Div.) degree or the equivalent before enrolling. Students also typically need three years of ministry experience, and the degree is often pursued while actively engaged in a ministry setting. Programs focus on an array of topics, and they may be offered through a traditional or cohort orientation.

Seminary D.Min. program applicants tend to be pastors and people who lead parachurch organizations. Because many students pursue this degree while in ministry, most programs offer flexible scheduling through intensive, online and other accommodating class structures.
