Students Interested in Miltary or Hospital Chaplaincies
- The U.S. military has exited Iraq and will significantly reduce its presence in Afghanistan. Consequently, receiving a chaplaincy appointment to the armed services will become more difficult. Taking an additional 12 credits beyond our 78-credit M. Div. will give you a stronger resume. Also, taking one or more Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) units will be helpful. AGTS gives 3 credits for each CPE unit completed. Availability in Springfield for such units is limited, so plan ahead or find programs in other locations.
- For those interested in hospital chaplaincy, having CPE units is practically required to get into an internship program. So make arrangements to include these units in your M.Div. elective choices here at AGTS.
