Cost Overview

Most families pay around $6,608 per year after financial aid, making this one of the more affordable seminary options. Students from lower-income families ($0-30K) pay $7,367 annually, while middle-income families ($30-48K) get an even better deal at $5,849. Over four years, expect total costs between $23,000-26,000 for most students.

The seminary keeps prices low with modest tuition of $10,646 regardless of residency status. Room and board adds $7,469 for on-campus housing that accommodates 815 students. Only 18% of students receive federal financial aid, reflecting the older student population typical of graduate theological programs. With 95% employment rates and median earnings of $51,360 one year after graduation, most graduates can manage their educational investment.

Middle-income families get the best financial deal here, paying less than lower-income students due to the seminary's unique aid structure focused on ministerial training rather than traditional need-based formulas.
