The Directed Studies Program (DSP) was an individualized study program offered by the denomination. Students independently read assigned textbooks and supplemental texts before completing a proctored examination over each instructional unit. The DSP will no longer be accepted for credentialing in the Church of the Nazarene with the release of the 2005 Manual. Students currently enrolled in the DSP should work with their District Ministerial Studies Board to receive credit for work done and to complete the course of study through a validated curriculum.
