About the dual-degree program
The dual degree Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing/Master of Divinty (MFA-CW/MDiv) or Master of Fine Arts- Creative Writing/Master of Arts in Christian Studies (MFA-CW/MA) is ideal for students interested in developing excellence in the craft of writing and in deepening their knowledge and practice of the Christian faith.
If you pursue either of these dual degree options, you will participate fully in the academy, abbey, and apostolate components of the M.Div. or MA (Christian Studies) program and in the mentor/apprenticeship model of the MFA program.
Graduation from both programs equips you to use your informed faith and writing to communicate about God, God’s people, and God’s world. Simultaneous completion of the dual programs allows you to complete 21 fewer credits than you would be required to complete if pursuing the programs separately.
Admission requirements
You need to apply for admission separately for the MFA-CW degree program and Seattle Pacific
Seminary (either M.Div. or MA [Christian Studies]), individually complying with
admissions requirements for both programs.
