The Fuller DMin program is constantly adding new courses and cohorts to meet the demanding needs of today's minister. We are currently exploring new ways to make this degree available and accessible.

This is a 48-unit program. Forty units are comprised of seminar coursework and eight units are earned through completing the Final Project. Students are expected to begin with the 4-unit online orientation course DM711.  The course schedule is updated regularly and can be found here.

Students in a cohort-based program will do all their coursework in a prescribed sequence. All other students will choose coursework from the Doctor of Ministry curriculum found in the course planner (see the Program Design for the suggested pathways through the curriculum.) This curriculum generally consists of one or two-week seminars offered throughout the year. The student can choose from 12-unit, 8-unit, and 4-unit courses on the basis of personal need and vocational interest. Each course has three components:

• reading assignments which must be completed prior to attending the course (normally 1,500 pages for 4 units; 3,000 pages for 8 units; and 4,500 pages for 12 units; adjustments to reading are made if other pre-seminar work is required);

• a one- or two-week intensive seminar of classroom interaction, including faculty presentation and peer discussion;

• a post-course project which applies the reading and class work to the ministry setting. Generally the project is 20-30 pages for a 4-unit course, 40-50 pages for an 8-unit course, and 60-70 pages for a 12-unit course.

Each Doctor of Ministry course normally requires six months of advanced preparation and another three months following the seminar to complete the course project.

A minimum of 20 units must be taken on the Pasadena campus to complete the Doctor of Ministry degree. For off-campus courses information, please see the Doctor of Ministry Course Planner.
