Doctor of Ministry 
(30 credit hour program)
 National Bible College and Seminary


Purpose:
The Doctor of Ministry degree is an advanced professional degree designed for the continuing development of those involved in vocational ministry.  Since it is not oriented towards teaching or research in graduate theological studies, the Doctor of Ministry degree is distinct from the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) or the Doctor of Theology (Th.D.) degrees.  The Doctor of Ministry program is designed to enhance professional competence by expanding upon an initial foundation of theology and ministry experience, to enable those in vocational ministry to enhance current strengths, address areas of weakness, and increase overall effectiveness.
