Clinical Pastoral Education Admissions & Deadlines

Openness to diversity is an essential aspect of this department’s philosophy and contributes to a rich learning environment for students and faculty alike. In admitting students to the CPE Program for both single units and residencies, this department and faculty will not discriminate against any individual for reasons of race, gender, age, faith group, national origin, sexual orientation or physical disability.
