Course of Study for Ordained Ministry

This year, we are experiencing high enrollment in both third and fifth year classes. At this time, because of limitations on space, we are not accepting additional registrations for these years.

The Course of Study for Ordained Ministry has been established by the Board of Higher Education and Ministry of the United Methodist Church as an alternate educational route for persons seeking to serve as pastors in United Methodist congregations.

Leadership Education at Duke Divinity cooperates with the board to offer the course of study program each summer and on a part-time basis on weekends throughout the academic year. Advanced courses, for pastors who have completed the basic course of study and are seeking ordination in full connection, are offered in the summer session only.

Course instructors include faculty and staff of the Divinity School and other universities and institutions. University course credit is not granted.
