Use of Doctoral Title

After completing all D.Min. coursework, and with an approved prospectus in hand, you may use the designation “D.Min. (cand.)” on your resume and other documents.

You may start using “D.Min.” and the title “Doctor” when your degree has been recorded on your transcript. However, you must take part in the Project Symposium to complete the requirements for the D.Min.
