Student Experience

Academics / Departments & Programs / Congregational & Ministry Studies / Student Experience

The Congregational and Ministry Studies department offers a distinctly diverse range of opportunities for students interested in ministry.

Internships

For-credit internships

CMS-381 is a course in which you will complete 10 hours of work on-site each week, record your insights in reflection papers and journals, and attend a weekly seminar.

Non-credit internships

For non-credit internships, the relationship between student and church will be similar to that between a hospital intern and a teaching hospital. It will be an onsite experience with close supervision.

To learn more about for-credit and non-credit internships, make an appointment with Todd Cioffi or visit the career development office.
