Research in Ministry (RIM®) indexes and abstracts project reports and theses from over 100 Doctor of Ministry, Doctor of Missiology, and Doctor of Educational Ministry programs accredited by the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada. Many seminaries will loan their D.Min. theses. Contact the circulation desk to request a loan.
Listed below are two sources that specialize in making D.Min. thesis projects discoverable.
A collection of dissertations and theses whose authors have elected to publish as open access, meaning the full text of the thesis is also accessible. For a more precise search, choose "More Search Options" to limit search terms to a specific field, e.g. in the thesis Title.
Here are several freely searchable sites for discovering doctoral dissertations and other theses. Most also include the full text of the thesis.
A resource for finding open access graduate theses and dissertations from around the world. Over 1,000 universities and research institutions are represented.
A digitized index of nearly 100,000 dissertations by title, author and school. The only searchable index available of dissertations produced during the 1930-50s.
A source for discovering theses produced at all institutions of higher education in the UK. Use the Advanced Search interface for best results. Some theses are open access while others are available for purchase by setting up an account.
