Program Goals

the Doctor of Ministry degree program seeks to:

    • Lead learners to explore and develop deeply about themselves, not theories or principles.
    • Support to think and practice from the center of TEXT to the center of CONTEXT.
    • Balance theory and practice through the collaboration of professors, field experts and instructional designers.
    • The latest theories used in social science and field research methods will be actively utilized. (PBL, Design Thinking, Deep Level Interview)
    • Through individual mentoring, not only design a student-tailored learning course, but also experience a holistic education.
    • The final project will not only have a real impact on individuals and communities, but it will also be an expandable theme from a long-term perspective.
