General Requirements

Counseling majors must earn at least a C in all counseling courses in order for the credit to count toward a degree. Students preparing for the ministry should recognize the high number of skills necessary for an adequate ministry. Since it is difficult to acquire all of these skills in the classroom, each candidate for the counseling degree will be required to participate in the following noncredit activities:

A. The monthly meetings of the campus Counseling Organization scheduled by the Dean of Students.

B. Scheduled workshops and conventions. This will necessitate that each student make arrangements with his/her employer at the very beginning of the school year to have this time free.

C. Ministry as assigned by the chairman of Programs in Counseling Studies.

Objectives

1. The student will learn the interrelationship between basic ministry requirements and counseling responsibility.

2. The student will gain an understanding of the counseling responsibility to the church.

3. The student will have a worldview of the church as it exists in the contemporary setting.
