Candler students enrolled in the Master of Divinity (MDiv) degree program may select a certificate in Chaplaincy to focus their studies and experiences while in seminary. The Chaplaincy certificate program introduces students to the breadth of contexts in which caregiving ministries take place and provides in-depth preparation in practices of spiritual care through coursework and hands-on experiential learning. This certificate is ideal for those who are exploring vocations in chaplaincy or spiritual direction, eventual pursuit of licensing as a pastoral counselor, or roles in nonprofit and community organizations that involve direct care or significant attention to spiritual needs.
