The Health Care Ministry concentration provides the academic, spiritual and psychological background needed by those who wish to work as chaplains in hospitals and other health care settings. Instead of a Contextual Education placement, students choosing this concentration fulfill all academic requirements as well as complete two units of CPE toward their certification by the National Association of Catholic Chaplains.
