[edit]

The Doctor of Missiology (DMiss) is an advanced theological degree offered by a number of universities, divinity schools, and seminaries.[1] The Association of Theological Schools classifies the Doctor of Missiology as an "Advanced Program Oriented Toward Ministerial Leadership".[2] Admission to DMiss programs requires possession of an appropriate master's degree (such as the Master of Divinity) and also requires prior professional experience as a Christian missionaryorminister. [2] Though questions about the viability of the DMiss have been raised as it has been outpaced in offering institutions by the Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.)[3] it continues to be successfully offered by prominent theological schools such as Fuller Theological Seminary[4] and The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.[5]

DMiss students are required to complete a doctoral project, thesis, or dissertation and "demonstrate an advanced competency in the practice of ministry; give evidence of being informed by analytic, ministerial, and disciplinary research; and show the integration of these areas of advanced knowledge with opportunities for growth in one’s ministerial capacity and spiritual maturity."[2] DMiss can be used as an academic qualification for the instruction of missiologyorevangelism.[6]
