Practicums and Labs
A practicum is a
college course, often in a specialized field of
study, that is designed to give students
supervised practical application of a previously
studied theory. Practicums are common for
education majors.
Our required practicums are as follows:
- Christian Servanthood (CM199)
- Servanthood Evangelism
- Christian Research and Development
