Students who qualify for the Doctor of Ministry Program and have completed level 3 training or higher can earn credit for the Clinical Pastoral Education Course. While the D.Min. does not offer a clinical pastoral track, students may specialize in one of the standard D.Min. tracks or may specialize in pastoral counseling, and then complete a project in the field of clinical education.
Validation of completion of the Clinical Pastoral Education is required through Certificate of Achievement and Evaluation.
For the purpose of degree requirements, a student given this designation must first take the Program Overview and Research Writing Workshop and at least one seminar in their first trimester of course work.
During the inquiry or application process, notify the Professional Doctoral office of your interest in receiving Clinical Pastoral Education credit.
