Congregational Internship

This is a 10-month full-time (one year, 10 credits/semester) or part-time (two years, 5 credits/ semester) ministry experience in a teaching congregation, under the supervision of a Minister in Full Fellowship (for UU students), working with an intern committee, and a professor at the school. For non-UU students, check with your denominational body to see if there are additional requirements for the congregational internship experience.

This course is for M.Div. students. Evaluation is based on the Zoom conversations, midterm and final evaluations. Students are should also register for the concurrent class “EL-4302 Congregational Intern Reflection” for two credits. UU students will use the UUA Internship Evaluation forms.
