Length

The professional practicum begins on 15th September and continues until 14th September of the following year (full-time practicum). Ten weeks a year are permitted for vacation, research  and writing.  In individual cases this time schedule can be modified with the school’s permission.  The practicum can be extended into a two year practicum (part-time practicum) if the student is involved in another occupation during the internship time. Missions majors must serve their internship year outside their home country.

Location of Practicum

It is primarily the responsibility of the student to find an internship site.  This decision however must be done in dialogue with the school. The practicum can take place in a local church or in a transdenominational organization. The on location internship supervisor must be qualified.

2. Graduation Paper. A 55-70 page paper that consists of a theological and personal reflection of one’s practicum and ministry. Details of the internship requirements may be obtained from the Director of Practical Ministries.
