The courses in this program can be scheduled in different ways. Above is an example of what this program could look like.
1 ISP (Integrative Seminar with Portfolio) should be done: 1. as close to the end of the degree as possible OR 2. as close to internship as possible. Biblical Communication is done in conjunction with internship. Preaching & Public Speaking (formerly Homiletics) should be taken prior to internship but could be taken in conjunction with internship with permission from the registrar office.
