Bachelor of Arts in Ministry & Leadership

The University has designed this program to provide students with knowledge, skills,

and values in the areas of Bible/Theology, Ministry, Leadership, and Personal Formation

that are necessary to lead others in a Christian setting. This program is designed for

busy leaders whose responsibilities and schedules do not permit enrollment in a

traditional university program. Ideal students are highly motivated, involved in some

type of ministry or outreach which may or may not be vocational, and range in age

from mid-20s to 50+.

Accessible Format: Online format that goes with you

Accelerated Program: Complete in 18 months

Affordable Tuition: Highly competitive

Applicable Coursework: Relevant tools you can use tomorrow

Professional Advantage: Knowledge and skills that win in the workplace

The accelerated format features five-week-long classes offered one at a time, back-

to-back. Students should expect to spend a minimum of 12-16 hours per week on

coursework. Students move sequentially from class to class as part of a learning cohort;

the weekly discussion boards provide opportunities for relational interaction with other

cohort members and professors. Utilization of concept-based learning helps students

tie new material to previous life experience.

DCP TESTIMONIALS

“Your cohort becomes your family. They are the ones that cheer you on and challenge your assertions. The confidence I have gained and the true authenticity I now possess within life and ministry has been worth every late night study session, every ‘dig deeper’ challenge, and the financial investment.”
