Seminars are one-week intensives and require extensive preparation prior to attending the seminar on campus. Students may take one or two seminars per term, depending on courses scheduled. (One seminar = one week on campus; two seminars = two weeks on campus.)

The Doctor of Ministry degree is a 3 to 6-year program. Students may accelerate their program by taking two seminars in a term rather than one.
