All M.A. in Ministry and Master of Divinity(MDiv) students do an internship as part of their degree program. It involves a continuous experience involving 400 hours of service, supervision and reflection over two academic terms at a site approved by the Director of Internship and Placement.

Internship occurs in the student’s last program year. Our internship process allows you to map out your development goals and serve in a ministry context that helps you meet those goals. Your internship will culminate in evaluation and feedback on your integration of degree program outcomes.
