Master of Divinity students take part in supervised internships in ministry settings.
This internship component of the curriculum provides a place to practice ministry and a space to reflect on it. Three elements usually guide the internship experience:
1. A mentor at the church or organization regularly meets with the student to reflect theologically and personally on the student’s ongoing formation for ministry.
2. Students write learning covenants to help focus their internship experience.
3. Coursework accompanies the internship to provide space for learning, reflection, and integration. M.Div. students are required to complete four semesters/units of supervised internships. These can be done over two academic years or one academic year and one summer.
