University of Dallas School of Ministry [SEP] inception
University of Dallas School of Ministry
The University of Dallas School of Ministry began in 1987 as the Institute for Religious and Pastoral Studies (IRPS), offering master's degrees in theological studies (MTS) and religious education (MRE). The founders of the School of Ministry envisaged an institute dedicated to training ministers who could respond to pastoral needs in their local Church communities. 
As such, the School has adopted a “practitioner” model program so as to integrate preparation for practical ministry with study of the more abstract
30,000 part-time students. Some members are listed below:
