Elements of CPE include: the actual service of ministry to persons in crisis, and theological reflection on that service and the opportunity for growing in confidence concerning issues of pastoral practice within the context of peer- group learning. CPE programs are offered in hospitals, mental health facilities, geriatric care centers, correctional institutions, prisons, as well as some parishes. CPE units typically are full-time (40 hours per week) for 10 weeks during a summer, or part time during an academic semester. For an assignment from the internship coordinator: (1) gain permission from the dean’s office; (2) apply to and select an appropriate CPE site (the application process is your responsibility). In order to receive three credit hours, the CPE unit must include at least 400 hours of supervised experience. Students who have received academic credit for this unit of CPE at a master’s level may not receive doctoral credit for this course.
