Post-doctoral fellowship experience can be custom designed for pastors and leaders desiring additional work. Please contact the D.Min. office for details.
Unclassified Doctoral
Non-degree, post-M.Div. persons who are not interested in pursuing a D.Min. degree may take D.Min. courses if they satisfy admission requirements for the D.Min. program and apply for "Unclassified Doctoral Level Student" status. The normal procedure concerning tuition would apply to these persons, and they would be expected to do the required course work.
Courses are usually limited to D.Min. students. However, under very controlled situations, D.Miss. and Ph.D. students and qualified seniors in Asbury’s masters level programs may be allowed to enroll in a D.Min. course by permission of the D.Min. dean. Contact the D.Min. office for further information. It is possible for a person who has taken D.Min. courses as an “Unclassified Doctoral Level Student" to petition to move into full D.Min. student status. See the D.Min. office for further information.
