Ivan Hicks, the school's associate dean for African-American studies, says Omarosa will spend about two years pursuing a doctor of ministry degree.

Hicks says the Youngstown, Ohio, native has a heart for Christian ministry and has done work on behalf of the homeless and the poor in Haiti.

He says Omarosa's reputation for both good and bad will help her as a minister, because people will relate to her.
