Supervised Ministries at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School Field education and internships involve supervised work in a field-based ministry. All are designed to (1) integrate classroom studies with field-based ministry, (2) aid in acquiring, reinforcing, and refining ministry knowledge and skills, and (3) assist in the assessment and development of Christian character, spirituality, and ministerial call and identity.
Field education and internship experiences are guided by a field supervisor who serves as a mentor and equipper. Opportunities for Trinity students in the Chicago metropolitan area are abundant and diverse. Field education and internship courses may be taken in any semester and anywhere in the world. Students enrolled at extension sites and at the Florida Regional Center are required to meet the same field education requirements as students at the Deerfield Campus. Field education is a program requirement in all programs and a prerequisite for internship in the MDiv program. The prerequisite for MDiv students to register for field education is PT 525; MAR students must take PT 520 as a prerequisite. New students (Deerfield Campus only) enrolling in their first field education or internship must attend the field education and internship orientation sessions at the beginning of the semester. Field education courses require a thirteen-week commitment with a minimum of two to five hours per week; internship experiences vary, requiring a minimum of 15 hours per week for part-time internships and 30 hours per week for full-time. If a student has completed extensive ministry experience (four years or more full time) prior to enrolling in Trinity, he or she may qualify for a waiver.
