Hispanic Track -- Seminarians studying for
Chicago and certain other dioceses are
required to show proficiency in Spanish
language and ministry skills. Mundelein
provides a special track in the M.Div. program
to meet these objectives. Those who have
not studied Spanish take the Introduction to
Spanish in First Theology. Normally the
Spanish Language Intensive is done in the
summer between First and Second Theology.
Spanish conversation courses follows the
Intensive. Seminarians also take other
courses in Ministry, Preaching and Presiding
in Hispanic Communities. The intensive and
the ministry courses are presumed
requirements for the students in the
designated dioceses, unless they already
demonstrate an acquired facility in Spanish or
have a reason to substitute another pastoral
language.
Theological Research and Composition
Theological Research and Composition I is a
required course for all First Year Theologians.
This is a basic course introducing students to
theological reading, composition, and
research skills.
Students familiar with theological reading,
composition, and research may be exempted
from the course by passing the Research
Knowledge Survey. The survey is available in
the Academic Office and must be returned by
the end of Orientation Week.
Comprehensive Evaluation Process
In addition to the successful completion of all
other requirements for the M.Div. degree, the
student is required to demonstrate his
theological and pastoral proficiency in a
comprehensive evaluation process in
conjunction with the Integrating Seminar in
the Winter Quarter of Fourth Year (IV-W).
