Pastoral Care and Counseling
The Graduate Certificate in Pastoral Care and Counseling is designed for students who desire to be competent in the foundational knowledge and skills of pastoral care and counseling. The graduate certificate prepares students to provide pastoral care and counseling in church, parachurch, and other missional contexts as well as in daily life situations where knowledgeable, skilled, compassionate care is needed. It is not designed to equip licensed therapists and counselors. Nor does it provide the necessary education and certification for certain chaplaincy roles (e.g. military chaplaincy and hospital chaplaincy). The program of study includes theory and experiential practice. This includes a 3-credit community-based internship.
