The Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) program is intended for persons who are actively engaged in full-time Christian ministry. It is advanced seminary work beyond the M.Div. degree. The main purpose is to enhance the participant’s personal growth towards maturity and professional competence in the practice of ministry. The Doctor of Ministry program is committed to maintaining high academic standards and to building ministry on a solid biblical and theological foundation. The APTS D.Min. program focuses on Pentecostal/Charismatic ministries, including the issues facing Pentecostal/Charismatic ministries in Asia today. Its four- to five-year program consists of two years of course work (in modules) and a two- to three-year research writing project while continuing with one’s full-time ministry. Participants need to come to the Baguio campus twice a year (four weeks each) for two years to complete their course work, and for at least six weeks each year while working on their research projects. The D.Min. program requires a total of 45 credit hours: 24 credit hours of seminar/reading (five core courses and three electives), a comprehensive exam (9 credit hours), and research project (12 credit hours, including oral defense). The maximum time for completing the program is six years.
