Choose one course (3 credit hours) in consultation with the student’s advisor in a specific area of vocational concern.
While only two courses in this constellation have an overtly and specifically Hispanic orientation, all course work undertaken by students in this track will involve assignments and practical learning activities that are attentive to and reflective of the peculiarities of Hispanic contextual ministries. Mentored ministry must take place in Hispanic congregational settings. Students in this track are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the resources of the Hispanic summer program which offers course work in both the Spanish and English languages in Hispanic contextual settings.
