Ph.D. in Missiology
CORE COURSES: RESEARCH AND DESIGN
Required Courses DMS 971 SEMINAR IN MISSIOLOGY
This seminar course is designed to build a positive and complementary community of Ph.D.
(Missiology) scholars and researchers at CTS. The goal is growth through formal and informal
interaction. The course is designed to expose the student to a variety of possible research
topics and to give the student an opportunity to share research ideas for helpful feedback
from Ph.D. students, professors and other missiological scholars.
DMS 975 MISSIOLOGICAL RESEARCH DESIGN
This course examines research methodology (including design, implementation and evaluation)
as it relates to contemporary missiological issues. Specific attention is given to the
development of the problem-hypothesis; biblical and confessional issues; review of the relevant
literature; project design; and project evaluation. The content of this course is presented
in a seminar-like process by which students develop, present and critique a range of
possible Ph.D. in Missiology research topics.
DMS 976 ETHNOGRAPHIC RESEARCH METHODS
This course introduces the student to the theory and methodology of ethnographic (qualitative)
research in the service of missiological inquiry. Focus is on intensive investigation in
small sample populations through field observation and interview. The student will also
receive practical experience in the design of field research, interviewing and conducting surveys,
and the recording, analysis and reporting of field data.
Elective Courses DMS 981 HISTORIOGRAPHIC RESEARCH PROCEDURES
This course is designed to introduce the student to the methods and philosophy of contemporary
schools of historiography particularly as they apply to the study of the Christian
church and faith through the course of time. Students will be encouraged to investigate both
the advantages and the limits to historical inquiry as it applies to the Church and whether the
Christian religion itself has any implications for the study of the past.
DMS 982 METHODS OF STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
This course introduces the student to the theory and methodology of statistical analysis and
its usefulness in dissertation research and writing. The course includes hands-on experience
with statistical analysis under the direction and guidance of a practitioner who is knowledgeable
in the field.
DMS 983 SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH
This course introduces the theory and practice of social science research for dissertation
research and writing. Practical application through student participation in social science
research is built directly into the course.
