The Center for Writing and Research

Luther Seminary is dedicated to providing the seminary community with a writing and research resource for improving writing from across the curriculum. By meeting with a writing professional in a one-on-one setting, writers can get specific answers to the questions they are facing in the writing process as well as identify and address points for improvement in their own writing.

Fitness Center

Luther Seminary has its own fitness center, God’s Gym, complete with weights and various exercise machines, of which students and faculty members are invited to make use. Furthermore, the seminary is in close proximity to other fitness facilities and healthcare providers.

New Student Orientation

New students are introduced to life at Luther through experiential learning opportunities involving our faculty, staff, and returning students and well as connections to the larger Twin Cities faith community. Together new students will further explore their own callings and identity as a Christian Public Leader. Students will learn how to access resources and support services to aid in the transition to the academic work of theological education and community life at Luther.

Student Employment

Luther Seminary offers a variety of student employment opportunities that allow students to gain valuable work experience, develop professional skills, and earn income while completing their studies.  Our student employment programs include positions in various departments and campus jobs tailored to fit academic schedules.

Academic Advising & Faculty Mentors

Students in the Graduate Certificate, M.A., or M.Div. program are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor and faculty mentors to ensure they’re on track to meet their academic goals. Advisors assist with course selection, degree planning, and navigating academic requirements, while also offering guidance on internships, research opportunities, and other resources. With a commitment to student success, our advising team and faculty mentors help students make informed decisions, overcome challenges, and build a clear path toward graduation and beyond.

Candidacy and Ordination Support

No matter which denomination you come from, navigating the ordination process can be challenging. The Office of Contextual Learning exists, in part, to guide you through this process, be your advocate, and provide updated information as you progress through the various candidacy steps.
