Are there members of your staff or peers in your community not in the DMin program, whom you believe would benefit from what our program has to offer? If they have completed an MDiv or MA (of a theological nature), contact our office for admission information or to have them audit a course as your guest.
If they have not completed one of these required degrees but are working in full-time ministry, we have several courses that are open to a select number of students coming for Continuing Education. These students will be required to complete all the audit requirements. For information on the DMin/CE courses, please click here.
