Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing

The Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing is a limited-enrollment, academically rigorous, low residency two-year course of graduate studies for those aspiring to recover a faithful, theologically rich approach to the creative arts, particularly writing. All students will study biblical theology as a foundational element for developing the creative imagination and work closely with tutors on their creative writing projects. The two-year course is built around three one-week intensives (resident) workshops per year. The students are assigned specific creative and critical work between residences and handed in to set deadlines.

At New Saint Andrews College, we desire to graduate students who are free intellectually as well as financially. New Saint Andrews College has always stood apart as a principled institution of Christian higher education and as a leader in classical, Christian education. Our early faculty and staff worked hard to craft a pedagogy that focuses on instilling the habits of lifelong Christian learning and leadership in our students, and their vision has continued faithfully to the present day. Further, over twenty-five years ago, the founding board demonstrated tremendous foresight when it refused to accept any form of federal or state government money or aid. As a result, New Saint Andrews College is in a more free position to serve God.
