Career Requirements. To work as a hospital chaplain, you'll need at least a master's degree in religion, pastoral counseling, divinity, or theology. Some employers prefer a doctorate degree. You'll also need 2-5 years of experience as clergy or chaplain and experience in palliative care and hospice.
Required Education. Although many chaplains are ordained ministers, you don't have to be ordained to work as a chaplain, but you do have to have an endorsement or commission from your faith group. An endorsement may be obtained after satisfying specific education and training objectives outlined by an authority in your faith group.
