Policies

The Doctor of Ministry program requires completion of the equivalent of a minimum of nine courses, one of which is awarded for the satisfactory completion of the thesis project, with a minimum grade point average of 3.0. Transfer of Credit Credits earned at other accredited seminaries may be transferred to the divinity school, pending review of course syllabi and an official transcript. Requests for transfer credit should be made, in writing and with accompanying documentation, to the Vice President for Academic Life. Normally, transfer credit for academic work completed at another institution more than 10 years prior to admission to CRCDS will not be granted. Students may transfer no more than one-half of their courses for the Master of Divinity degree (13 courses) and the Master of Arts degree (8 courses). No more than two courses will be accepted for advanced standing in the Doctor of Ministry program. These courses must be transfer credits from another ATS accredited Doctor of Ministry program and be consistent with the vision of the CRCDS Doctor of Ministry program in Transformative Leadership. Courses accepted for transfer credit cannot be substituted for required courses.

Transfer credit will be approved on a course by course basis, upon receipt of an official transcript and review of relevant syllabi.
