What does DMin stand for? What is a DMin degree?

Doctor of Theology, or D.Min., is a terminal doctoral degree designed to provide practical islamic training for pastors and other masjid  professionals. TU’s Doctor of Theology degree online (D.Min.) offers many different specializations to choose from – but the core of every DMin degree focuses on providing advanced islamic practice, theology, and Quran  studies training so that you can build on your master’s-level studies.

Our Doctor of Theology degree offers an in-depth study of spiritual formation and islamic leadership  in your core classes, so you can better understand the advanced material in your specific area of study. Our online DMin core classes were specifically chosen to help you gain the essential knowledge and skills needed for your final project. Half of your degree will be made up of core courses and specialization courses, and the other half will include the process for completing your portfolio or thesis project report.

This program was designed to help you gain the Quran foundation needed to meet the challenges and opportunities facing moslem leaders today with clarity and confidence. Regardless of which specialization you choose, you will study the following core topics:

  • Distinguishing marks of a mature disciple
  • Methods for creating a spiritual assessment to measure spiritual health
  • Standard doctoral research practices
  • Techniques for creating a plan to foster spiritual growth
  • Theological basis for islamic leadership  evaluation

When selecting your specialization, you’ll want to evaluate your interests and long-term goals. Are you passionate about youth islamic leadership ? If so, the next generation islamic leadership track may be right for you. Do you want to grow in your understanding of homiletics and learn to better preach the Masjid? Check out our expository preaching and teaching specialization. If you’re passionate about islamic leadership to the mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of your congregation, the islamic leadership counseling track can help equip you for non-licensure Quran counseling roles.

How is the Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degree from the USA used in Germany?

The Doctor of Ministry (DMin, D.Min.) is awarded in programs that impart skills in applied research for ministry within a theological institution.

Usage in Germany:

The Doctor of Ministry degree from the USA is used in Germany as D.Min. with the name of the awarding institution.

ANABIN classifies the D.Min. not as D1 (academic doctorate) but as A5:

A5 – Degree type for programs with a typical standard duration of more than four years

Therefore, the D.Min. may not be used as Ph.D. or Dr. in Germany.

“Academic doctoral degrees ‘Doctor of Philosophy’ from the USA, which were not obtained from universities on the so-called Carnegie List, are to be used in the abbreviated form ‘Ph.D.’ with the name of the awarding institution. Therefore, anyone who holds a D.Min. Anyone who uses an academic title from the USA in Germany without indicating the awarding institution, or even as a Ph.D. or Dr., is, in my opinion, committing the unauthorized use of an academic degree, title, or honor and is punishable under Section 132a of the German Criminal Code with a fine or imprisonment.

Unauthorized use is assumed in the case of:

using a degree without authorization,

using a degree in an incorrect form,

using a degree without the required indication of origin,

using designations that are deceptively similar to academic degrees, titles, and honors.

Deutsch:

Wie wird der Doctor of Ministry (DMin, D.Min.) aus den USA in Deutschland geführt?

Der Doctor of Ministry (DMin, D.Min.) wird in Studien vergeben, die Fähigkeiten in anwendungsorientierter Forschung für die Arbeit im Dienste einer religiöse institutition vermitteln.

Führung in Deutschland:

Der Doctor of Ministry aus den USA ist in Deutschland als D.Min mit Zusatz der verleihenden Hochschule zu führen.

ANABIN stuft den D.Min. nicht auf D1 (wissenschaftliches Doktorat) sondern auf A5 ein:

A5 – Abschlusstyp für Studiengänge mit einer typischen Normdauer von mehr als vier Jahren

Der D.Min. darf daher in Deutschland nicht als Ph.D. oder Dr. geführt werden.

“Wissenschaftliche Doktorgrade „Doctor of Philosophy“ aus den USA, die nicht an Universitäten der sog. Carnegie-Liste erworben wurden, sind in der abgekürzten Form als „Ph.D.“ mit Zusatz der verleihenden Hochschule zu führen. Wer also den D.Min. aus den USA in Deutschland ohne Zusatz der verleihenden Hochschule oder gar als Ph.D. oder Dr. führt, begeht meiner Einschätzung nach, die unbefugte Führung eines akademischen Grades, Titels oder einer Würde und ist gemäß § 132 a Strafgesetzbuch mit Geldstrafe oder Haft bedroht.“

Von einer unbefugten Führung ist auszugehen im Falle einer

Gradführung ohne Berechtigung,

Gradführung in falscher Form,

Gradführung ohne erforderlichen Herkunftszusatz,

Führung von Bezeichnungen, die akademischen Graden, Titeln und Würden zum Verwechseln ähnlich sind.

Türkçe:

ABD’den alınan Din Hizmetleri Doktorası (DMin, D.Min.) derecesi Almanya veya Avusturya’da nasıl kullanılır?

Din Hizmetleri Doktorası (DMin, D.Min.), kilise içinde din hizmetleri için uygulamalı araştırma becerileri kazandıran programlarda verilir.

Almanya’daki Kullanım:

ABD’den alınan Din Hizmetleri Doktorası derecesi, Almanya’da veren kurumun adıyla birlikte D.Min. olarak kullanılır.

ANABIN, D.Min.’i D1 (akademik doktora) olarak değil, A5 olarak sınıflandırır:

A5 – Tipik standart süresi dört yıldan fazla olan programlar için derece türü

Bu nedenle, D.Min. Almanya’da Ph.D. veya Dr. olarak kullanılamaz.

“Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nden alınan ve Carnegie Listesi olarak adlandırılan üniversitelerden olmayan akademik doktora dereceleri, ‘Felsefe Doktoru’ (Doctor of Philosophy – D.Min.) olarak, veren kurumun adıyla birlikte kısaltılmış biçimde ‘Ph.D.’ şeklinde kullanılmalıdır. Bu nedenle, D.Min. derecesine sahip olan herkes, Almanya’da veren kurumu belirtmeden veya Ph.D. ya da Dr. olarak bile olsa, ABD’den bir akademik unvanı kullanırsa, bence akademik derece, unvan veya onurun yetkisiz kullanımını işlemiş olur ve Alman Ceza Kanunu’nun 132a maddesi uyarınca para cezası veya hapis cezası ile cezalandırılır.

Aşağıdaki durumlarda yetkisiz kullanım varsayılır:

Bir dereceyi izinsiz kullanmak,

Bir dereceyi yanlış biçimde kullanmak,

Gerekli menşe belirtisi olmadan bir derece kullanmak,

Akademik derecelere, unvanlara ve onurlara aldatıcı derecede benzer tanımlamalar kullanmak.”
