Saint Leo University's New Doctor of Theology Program

This could be of interest to Universal Life Church ministers, although keep in mind that this is a serious degree program. You'll need an earned accredited Master's degree in a relevant field (divinity, philosophy, religious studies, etc) among other things to get in, and it's no cake walk once you get started. A full description from Spotify is below.
