Midwestern offers three doctoral-level programs:
The D.Min. and D.Ed.Min. programs at MBTS are seminar based, which means there is no need to relocate to Kansas City. Doctoral-level coursework completed at another ATS accredited institution may transfer in as elective credit, shortening the number of trips a student would need to make to our main campus. When travel is required, please know that our campus is only 15 minutes from the airport, and we have limited commuter housing available on campus for our doctoral students during their seminars.
To find out more about the course study for these degrees, please visit our Degree Programs page under the Academics section.
