Chaplaincy Student Internship

More than 200 students have participated in the program over the past 25 years. Students participate in real-life case studies: loss and grief, ethical problems, spiritual issues and other challenges faced in pastoral care and counseling roles. The program allows students a unique opportunity to experience an interdisciplinary care team while accessing and building upon their own spiritual foundation.

Summer Program

Summer experiences are available. Individual supervision and/or group programs are a part of the summer program, but the weekly commitment and length of the program will be negotiated to fit individual school requirements.
