Ministerial Residency Positions
All full time or part time students are eligible to participate in the ministerial residency program. These opportunities, which take place outside the School of Theology and Seminary, allow students to gain ministry experience while taking courses and give them a space to learn and grow in a real-world setting. Ministerial Residency positions can also be field education placements to meet degree requirements. They are paid positions, which can help relieve the economic stresses on students.
Graduate Assistantships
There are three purposes for a graduate assistantship: a) to provide students with an opportunity for ministerial or other skill development, while completing a degree in graduate theological study; b) to provide opportunities for discernment of vocational interest and competence; and c) to provide students with experience to foster full time employment upon graduation. The positions, which take place at the School of Theology and Seminary, range from 15 to 20 hours per week.
Student Employment
Part-time jobs are available on campus for our students. Wages may be used to pay for tuition, room and board costs or for personal expenses. Positions range from 10-12 hours per week. For position descriptions, contact the website or the Student Employment office for questions involving student employment. Phone: 320-363-2186.
