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. The faculty has adopted the following normal minimum eligibility requirements for internship. Exceptions to any of the above requirements are considered by the Contextual Education Committee, on petition from the student. If, in the judgment of the Contextual Education Committee, a student is not qualified for internship for reasons beyond these prerequisites, such a judgment shall be referred to the faculty for decision. Non-Lutheran students should contact the Director of Contextual Education in order to discuss ways of meeting the internship requirement in accordance with the expectations of their respective church bodies.
