The United Methodist connection was the synergy for a partnership between Dakota Wesleyan University in Mitchell, South Dakota, and United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio. Students at United seeking a Master of Divinity degree have the option to pursue a Master of Business degree, at Dakota Wesleyan. It is a dual degree program that equips people for the spiritual and business aspects of ministry. Rev. Dr. Kent Millard, president of United Theological Seminary and Dr. Dan Kittle, president, Dakota Wesleyan University, joined in conversation with Doreen Gosmire, director of communications, Dakotas UMC at General Conference in Charlotte, N.C.
