[edit] Magister of Ministry Department

The dynamic and complex changes on our current society require the servants of God to continuously improve their professionalism. Magister of Ministry (M.Min) is a professional program that provides opportunities to priests, church activists, and other Christian institutions to deepen and refresh their services. They can join this program without having to leave their jobs for a long time. The specific characteristic of this program is its emphasis on, one side the theological reflection of their current services and on the other side, the practical explanation of the theological concepts being learned. Because of this emphasis, the field service done at their own workplaces is an important part of this program. This program is handled by permanent lecturers of Duta Wacana Christian University including doctors and visiting lecturers.

This program offers three areas of concentrations: Church and Religious Traditions, Practical Christian Ethics, Pastoral and Contemporary Service Management.
