Interested
in Hosting an Intern?
The
placement process begins almost a year ahead of time--in October
or November for internships beginning the following September.
There
is no automatic guarantee of an intern for a given school year.
Interested congregations fill out a setting application, while
students
fill out a brief student profile. Churches are given an
opportunity to
review student profiles and interview potential interns. When
both the church representative and the student agree that there
is a good match between the student’s goals and the church’s
resources, they enter into an agreement with one another and
the seminary to fulfill the requirements of the internship.

Ministry
internships for
students at United are associated with courses in contextual studies
and one of the interdisciplinary seminars. All M.Div. and MARL
students serve quarter-time in basic congregational internships
during the
same year that they are enrolled in CS251/CS252, titled "Religious
Leadership, Organization, Administration & Finance in Context." One
of the prerequisites for this course is IS152, "Integration
of Ministry and Local Theologies," which includes a mini-internship
in urban ministry. Additionally, M.Div students will take either
CS253 "Ministry Practicum" or CS254 "CPE Ministry
Practicum"--both of which involve internships. See the course
descriptions for further information about these courses in general.
The links below provide information and forms for facilitating the
internships for the respective courses.
