continue to serve in their current ministerial roles. The degree, which combines intensive on-campus immersion weeks with live online learning, offers Christian leaders the flexibility they need to earn a doctorate without leaving their positions.</p> <p>The D.Min. seeks to integrate practical ministerial experience with structured theological reflection. Study of the church鈥檚 scriptures and traditions is paired with study of contemporary leadership theory and practice, encouraging deeper understanding of the sources, nature and character of authentic Christian leadership and enhancing the critical skills of persons engaged in the direction of congregations or church-related institutions.</p> <p>Our students flourish with small cohort sizes, a hybrid learning environment, and spiritual formation mentors. Each year, the D.Min. program welcomes a diverse cohort of students from a variety of backgrounds, including pastors, leaders in church-related institutions or in Christian higher education, and other professionals seeking advanced theological training. </p> <p>Engagement with distinguished faculty, an emphasis on generating innovative research-based theses, and a commitment to leadership in service to the church make the Duke Divinity School D.Min. an excellent choice.</p></div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="field__item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--quote paragraph--view-mode--default paragraph--id--946 paragraph--bgimage--326 paragraph--bgcolor--white"> <div class="background-overlay"> <span role="img" aria-label="Flowers in the foreground with Westbrook entrance in background"></span> <div class="field field--name-field-component-background-image field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"><div> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-visually_hidden"> <div class="field__label visually-hidden">Image</div> <div class="field__item"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="component-wrapper"> <div class="component-quote-content-wrapper"> <div class="component-quote-photo"> </div> <blockquote class="blockquote"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>"I鈥檝e taught in a number of D.Min. programs.

The residencies are each followed by eight weeks of group interaction and structured distance learning during which students regularly engage with one another and with faculty, facilitated by both synchronous and asynchronous online tools. Some tools help students work on their own time; others require students to meet online at specific times for engagement with professors and their class.</p> <p>Assignments require students both to engage the church鈥檚 scriptures and traditions and to integrate them with the ecclesial practices that are part of their daily life. This work is not done in isolation but as part of a conversation with the community of peer scholar-practitioners formed during the residential intensives and sustained through online communication.</p> <p>Each cohort is assigned a cohort mentor, who guides spiritual formation and offers other forms of support to students throughout the program. Students and cohort mentors participate in community worship and meet daily during the residencies. Cohort mentors are available throughout the program to serve as a resource for students.</p> <p>View a sample course schedule:</p> <div data-embed-button="embed_file" data-entity-embed-display="view_mode:media.file_download_link" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="039eabea-b981-480f-b4f0-28194e3e96cf" data-langcode="en" data-entity-embed-display-settings="[]" class="embedded-entity"><div> <div class="views-element-container"><div class="view view-eva view-file-entity-eva view-id-file_entity_eva view-display-id-entity_view_1 js-view-dom-id-f110e16c32d286d0c567b91f52b574238fa2da3167680642beb4eb1a8fa72364"> <div class="views-row"> <div class="views-field views-field-nothing"><span class="field-content"><a href="/sites/default/files/documents/Paradigm%20-%20DMin.pdf" target="_blank" class="file-download-link">Download Sample D.Min.
