Book Description
This book is about the innovative field of post-credentialing professional education within the specific context of ministry and related human service fields -- pastoral work, education, health care, administration, counseling, media studies and mediation. The interest here is to create a network through which student professionals navigate; this network will allow them to take advantage of educational opportunities which best serve their professional needs. This navigation of educational programs allows students to in effect "package" their education, providing both excellent educational opportunities to students as well as substantial benefits to the educational programs.
There are enough excellent theological schools for residential study in the United States. What is being described here is a "New Paradigm" of professional education for those who are motivated to continue to advance their education while they maintain their professional employment. Such a networking of educational programs is an innovative development within the field of higher education, and one which allows for maximum flexibility and options for the serious student.
