"The value of my United Theological Seminary matriculation has increased the development of critical thinking abilities beyond embedded theology, as I interact in a pluralistic world. Skills in social talk and group discussion in the peer sessions and focus groups during intensive have increased my confidence. Oral and written communication has been honed as visible with an expression of contextual ministry focus. Those experiential moments have carried over in board meetings that have opened doors to my context receiving operational grants of 40k while in the program. If I were to advise a prospective student I would say, don’t be afraid; United program formats and instructors create space for academic and personal growth in a non-traditional circle of learning. You will have to do the work, but you are able to continue ministry, family, work and earn a doctoral degree. That is what I have grown to love about United."
