A Learning Service Agreement is to be submitted after the second month of internship and more detailed reports after six months and at the end of the year. Additional information is available from the Contextual Education Office. The internship needs to be followed by at least one year or ten courses of resident academic work. Exceptions would be made for those approved for a two-year residency program.
Internship normally requires the student to move off campus to the internship site for one year.
The placement of interns is in response to requests by congregations and institutions. Special requests from students relating to internship are reviewed by the Contextual Education Committee, and the final decision for assignment is that of the committee. Assignments normally are made by April 1. Students are to complete an orientation series during the spring semester prior to internship. This is a non-credit required course.
