2-8 Cr. The practicum offers participants the opportunity to apply the skills and learning from their course work. The nature of the practicum will depend on the participant's interests, goals, and preparation. Participants will select and craft their practicum in close consultation with their advisor. This experience should lead the participants to create new programs, try new approaches to problems, or take a fresh look at challenging situations that confront them as servant leaders who are trying to draw others to foster the common good. Note well: The practicum will be completed through an independent study contract unless it is part of a portfolio. For instance, a practicum is a required element of clinical pastoral education programs, the Spiritual Direction Preparation Program, and programs preparing permanent deacons.
