Practicums

We want all of our students to be well-versed in all aspects of ministry and Practicums are one way we are able to do this! Each student will rotate through Catalyst Bible College’s five different practicum areas. These areas have been carefully curated to emphasize key elements of ministry and leadership development.

Practicums are required for Theology majors, but can also be utilized as a resource for our other offered degree programs.
Students outside of the Theology degree program will receive assistance in seeking out external internships if needed.

Catalyst World Experience

One of the goals of CBC is for every student to graduate with a passion and heart for missions. That is why we have developed the Catalyst World Experience. Every eligible student will have the opportunity to visit five foreign countries during their four years with Catalyst. These experiences are already incorporated into the students’ fees and tuition, so there is no additional cost to participate. We aim to visit South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and the Holy Land all before a student graduates our program.

To learn more about the Catalyst World Experience, set up a meeting with our Admissions Office.
