Theological Writing Requirements

Northeastern Seminary’s degree programs require a graduate-level proficiency in writing. Prior to enrollment, all students must complete a segment on writing and citation instruction as part of online orientation.  This is designed to help students develop their skills in theological research and writing and is critically important to a successful educational experience.

CMC 501NE Practicum in Theological Research and Writing is a one-credit course designed for those who would benefit from further assistance in the craft of writing. CMC 501NE is recommended for students with a GPA below 2.5, though it is open to any student seeking tutorial guidance with writing. Students are also encouraged to utilize the services of the writing center in the learning center suite of the B. Thomas Golisano Library.
