The Doctor of Ministry Seminars All seminars at the Denver Seminary campus are one week long. There are seminars in January and July. Seminar leaders are experts in their areas and are drawn both from the Denver Seminary faculty and from exceptional people around the country. Emphasis is on the practical application of learning and not just learning alone. Students submit evaluations of each of the seminars and the feedback is used to continue to involve strong seminar leaders in the program. The seminars themselves use a wide variety of adult education practices that involve the student in the learning process. There is always extensive reading in advance of the seminars as well as a pre- or post-seminar project or sometimes both. Students in any of the four concentrations in the leadership track must average two seminars per year to stay on a reasonable schedule to graduate in six years. Students, however, often take more than two seminars per year. Students have five months or more to complete the 2,000 pages of reading.
