An off-campus experience in supervised ministry at centers accredited by the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education, including general hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, churches, prisons, and other agencies. Application must be made at least six months in advance of the start of the unit of training; an opportunity to complete this process is given each fall on CPE Interview day. CPE includes a three-fold process of self-awareness, the learning of pastoral skills, and theological reflection on human experience.
CPE is normally taken after at least one year of Seminary studies (including the prerequisite course) and should be taken prior to the final year. Any exception to this must be approved by faculty. CPE may be taken during the summer or as an extended unit taken during the academic year. An extended unit requires a reduction in seminary course work to 6-9 credits, depending on the number of hours required in the unit. Some full-time work in January is often required in extended units. Summer units are full-time (with weekend and overnight on-call duties) for approximately 10 weeks; other studies or work during this time are not advisable.
