Description
Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is a program of supervised, theological and professional education for ministry in a clinical setting such as a hospital. Students must first consult with the Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling to determine both their readiness for CPE and the appropriateness of their preferred training site and program, which must be certified by the Association of Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE) or The College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy, Inc. (CPSP). Students must satisfactorily complete one unit of CPE (6 credit hours) and provide copies of their Certificate of Completion and final evaluation to the Registrar and the Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling for these hours to count toward their degree program’s requirements. Depending upon the CPE program structure, students may register for 3 credit hours over two semesters or 6 credit hours for one semester. Pre-requisite: PTH 141 and permission of the Professor of Pastoral Care. Can s
