About the Program
For students intending to minister in a clinical setting, accredited training in Level I/Level II Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is offered through the St. Vincent Medical Center in Cleveland, which places students in residency at local health care facilities. To receive graduate credit for this off-campus CPE, the student concurrently enrolls in THEO 684.
The culminating assignment for the Pastoral Ministry concentration is a 3-credit project that integrates the student’s theological and professional formation by applying them to a significant issue or problem in the field of pastoral care.
