Application Protocols
Application for admission to the Doctor of Ministry (DMin) program in Adult Learner Services should begin with as much lead-time as possible, as some application requirements involve time delays.
The application committee will only review completed files because a partially completed application does not always give an accurate picture of the ability to do doctoral work. Thus, applicants with borderline cumulative or area grade point averages but with significant successful ministry experience can be evaluated on the basis of both achievements, not just the GPA. Some applicants mistakenly assume a short-coming in one admission criteria automatically disqualifies them from admission. In reality, significant achievements in other admission criteria may accommodate a short-coming in another area.
