To be considered for admission to the D.Min. Program, a candidate must have received the Master of Divinity degree or its equivalent from an accredited school with a minimum grade-point average of B (3.00). A candidate with a lower grade-point average may be considered on the basis of demonstrated ministerial effectiveness.
A candidate must have completed a minimum of three years in a chosen ministry since completing his or her first graduate theological degree.
For candidates who have completed advanced theological degrees other than the M.Div., equivalency is defined as having fulfilled specific ministry courses that are central to the M.Div. degree as defined by the UTS M.Div. Program. Applicants seeking equivalency will have their transcripts assessed to determine what additional coursework would be required for entry into the Program. Applications are reviewed by the Doctoral Admissions Committee.
