In addition, the following THEO electives from our Pastoral Ministry track may be particularly valuable elective choices for future teachers: THEO 380 or 381, and THEO 346 or 328.
  • 4 credits of THEO 397 Internship - cross-listed with the EDUC 362 Teaching Internship (serves as THEO Capstone)
Note to students and advisors:

The 200 level courses are ideally situated earlier in the four year plan, certainly before senior year. The 300 level major courses are best situated in junior and senior year. 300 level electives can be taken anytime.
