PRACTICUM PROGRAM


back
Recognizing the value of practical training, Evangel Theological Seminary has established the Practicum Program, which awards seminary credit for ministry experience.  All M.Div. and M.T.S. students are eligible to apply, with a maximum credit limit of eighteen hours for the M.Div. program and twelve hours for the M.T.S. program.
 

To participate in this program, the student must:
  1. Have completed twenty-one (21) semester hours in the M.Div. program or fifteen (15) semester hours in the M.T.S. program.
  2. Submit a completed Application Form along with a non-refundable $30.00 application fee.
  3. Submit a minimum of three evaluations. The Seminary will supply the Evaluation Forms and they must be returned directly to the Office of the Academic Dean. All evaluations, reports, references, etc. will become part of the student’s permanent file.
With the submission of the Evaluation Forms, a personal interview will be scheduled.  At least two of the following will participate in this process; the President or Academic Dean, Faculty member/advisor, or a member of the Administrative Council.
 
After the above mentioned steps have been completed, the applicant’s ministry will be evaluated as to length, breadth, quality, effectiveness, and the degree of responsibility required.  Following this evaluation, the number of credit hours awarded will be determined.
 
After payment of the Practicum Program fee ($75.00 per semester hour awarded), an official declaration by the Academic Dean will be placed in the student’s file and will become a part of the official transcript.
 
The Practicum Program has been approved by the Board of Trustees of Evangel Theological Seminary with the understanding that all information and documents submitted to the Seminary are authentic and truthful.  Any falsification of information, evaluations, reports, etc. is grounds for dismissal from the Seminary and/or the withdrawal of any credit awarded toward the completion of a degree.
