The only conservative Christian MFA program in the world.
Schedule
This two-year program runs on an Alpha & Beta schedule. Each track consists of 8 modules that run all year long. Over the course of the two years, students will have taken 16 modules worth 32 credits.
Three, two-credit Theological Foundation seminars: Biblical Theology (6 credits total).
Eleven, two-credit M.F.A. Writing Seminars (22 credits total).
Final M.F.A Creative Writing Project – Completed Novel (4 credits total).
Where other programs offer classes that run 8-10 weeks long and end (just in time to have a finished rough draft), our year-long format allows for a real-life writing experience; writing, re-writing, and more re-writing.
Students do not need to be in Moscow, ID to write, so the two years are built around three one-week residencies each year. Students fly in from for five intense days of lectures, workshops, and supervisions. Most students continue to hold full-time jobs while completing this program.
We’re all working professionals, students and teachers, so we’re not interested in assigning or grading busy work. All assignments are designed to be necessary for developing writers whose work reflects The Author of life. Most assignments will tie directly to the students’ final project.
