Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary

What is the cost of studying for a year at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, Austin Seminary's reported full-time graduate tuition was $16,800, with $380 in required fees, for both Texas residents and students from other states. Those figures describe published tuition and fees for that reporting year - not a current individualized bill or a complete annual cost of attendance.

• Reported 2024-25 full-time graduate tuition: $16,800.
• Reported 2024-25 required graduate fees: $380.
• Reported 2024-25 part-time graduate per-credit charge: $280; confirm how the charge applies to the intended program and course load.

Students must also budget for housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses. An aid offer can reduce what a student pays, while borrowing changes when - not whether - the borrowed amount must be repaid. Ask for a current program-specific cost-of-attendance estimate and compare it with the actual aid offer; do not combine older tuition figures with current living-cost estimates as though they were one published annual total.

What are the work-study opportunities at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary?

Student employment and Federal Work-Study are different ways of earning money while enrolled. Federal Work-Study, when offered in an eligible student's aid package, is need-based and generally pays wages for work performed; it is not an upfront discount on tuition.

Students interested in campus jobs should ask the financial aid or student-services office how positions are posted, whether a job requires Work-Study eligibility, and how many hours are compatible with their course and field-education commitments. Paid work, an unpaid ministry placement, and a degree-required internship may serve different purposes even when all three build professional experience. Graduate students can also ask faculty and program staff about vocational guidance and connections to ministry opportunities, without treating those connections as a placement guarantee.
