Field Education & Practicum
Practicum and Apprenticeship experiences give students practical, hands-on training allowing them to build on things that they are learning in class. Students work with a mentor in the ministry setting as well as a faculty mentor at HST. Emphasis is on theological reflection of the student’s experience.
