Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing

Stories impact us in profound ways. Good stories can inspire and touch our souls; they bring freshness, life, understanding and clarity to our human experience. They can draw us closer to God and to Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. They are at the core of the entertainment which shapes our culture and society. Under the guidance of experienced writers, JPCatholic students study the discipline and craft of powerfully telling stories for multiple mediums, whether that be a novel, short story, or screenplay.

St. John Paul the Great, a writer and artist himself, wrote extensively encouraging artists to develop their divine spark to create works whose excellence communicates truth and beauty. Many career paths after graduation are available to students in the Creative Writing emphasis, but they are all oriented to contributing to the common good.
