Because some doctoral courses are offered mid-way through the semester to which you are applying, applicants who meet the general admission standards may apply for admission to the Doctor of Ministry program after the above mentioned deadlines. However, all application materials must be received 10 weeks before the start date of the course. For more information regarding these final application deadlines, contact Aaron Halvorsen, Administrative Assistant for the Doctor of Ministry program, at ahalvorsen@westernseminary.edu.
