The DSc. in Religion and Health program is an inter-professional program intended to enhance careers in ministry and/or health care by providing advanced education in the emerging field of religion and health. It is an excellent pathway for chaplains preparing for Board Certification or pursuing advanced education/leadership opportunities. It is also intended for health care professionals and managers, and those in ministry who desire training in the integration of faith and health. The program is not designed for pastoral ministry, or to generally prepare students for the job market. There are several components of this doctoral program. In addition to core religion courses, students will choose an area of concentration, conduct research, complete an internship/practicum relevant to the concentration, and a project/dissertation. Detailed information about each of these components is provided below. The Program will accommodate students who have completed a master's degree in either Religion or a Health care profession. Core courses will be offered as intensives on the LLU campus two consecutive years during the summer term.
