SCHOOL YEAR
The school year
includes two semesters of approximately 18 weeks
each. The first semester ends prior to the
Christmas recess.
Students entering
the seminary take part in a four-week
orientation program at the beginning of the
first semester.
When possible,
students who have completed their first year are
assigned to an internship under the supervision
of pastors in congregations of the Church of the
Lutheran Confession which operate a Christian
day school. When possible, students who have
completed their second year are assigned to an
internship under the supervision of pastors in
congregations of the CLC which do not have the
benefit of a Christian day school. Each of these
internships is six weeks in length, beginning in
mid-August and extending until the end of
September.
Students are
expected to attend all classes scheduled for
them in the 3-year curriculum. All students must
fulfill the requirements of each course in order
to advance to the next level of the seminary.
CREDITS
The unit of credit
is the semester hour, defined as one class hour
per week for one semester. Thus a lecture course
which meets two periods per week carries two
semester hours of credit.
GRADUATION
REQUIREMENTS
The requirements for
graduation from the seminary are the
satisfactory completion of the prescribed course
of study and agreement with the doctrinal
position described under Aims and Objectives.
Recommendation for being considered a candidate
for the pastoral ministry (CRM) of the Church of
the Lutheran Confession is based upon agreement
with the confessional position of this church
body and upon the qualifications set forth by
Holy Scripture in 1 Corinthians 4:1-2, 1 Timothy
3:1-7, and Titus 1:5-9.
