Pastoral Mentoring Experience:

Theology and Religious Studies majors seeking the pastoral ministry concentration must complete an internship approved by the School of Theology. Those anticipating pastoral work in the Seventh-day Adventist Church must participate in the internship program operated jointly between the School of Theology and the Upper Columbia Conference. It is also highly recommended that students participate in the ten-week summer internship program with the North Pacific Union Conference. Details of this program are available in the School of Theology Handbook.
