Dual degree programs: Theology and Creative Writing
The MFA dual degree program is not accepting new admits as of Autumn 2023.
The dual degree Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing / Master of Divinity and Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing / Master of Arts in Theology (Theological Integration) are 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 MDiv or MA in Theology (Theological Integration) 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 up to 21 fewer credits than you would be required to complete if pursuing the programs separately.

Admission requirements
You must apply for admission separately for the MFA-CW degree program and Seattle Pacific
Seminary (either MDiv or MA in Theology-Theological Integration), individually complying with
