Mater of Arts Chaplaincy Program - Brigham Young University

The materials presented below were developed by graduate students in the Master of Arts Chaplaincy program at Brigham Young University, College of Religious Education. The products are for use by chaplains in the field. They have gone through an academic process of review by a chair and two academic readers. We hope that they will be useful for ministry and professional development. Most have a chaplaincy focus.

The publications are free and are presented in two PDF formats. The first is an interactive PDF where you can navigate the document by simply pressing the bookmark icon or the outline format. This is located in the upper left-hand section of the document. It has three vertical dots with dash marks next to the dots.

The second PDF is formatted with cut marks for printing.

All documents have been produced using In Design. They are 5.25 x 7.25 inches for convenience. They can be printed with a clear plastic cover with the book title page in card stock. The back page can be in vinyl. The products can be spiral bound.

Spiral Bound with Laminated Clear Cover
