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

For the 2024-25 reporting year, Bethany's reported full-time graduate tuition was $12,000, with $150 in required fees, for both Indiana and out-of-state students. Its reported part-time graduate tuition charge was $500 per credit hour. These are tuition-and-fee figures, not a complete annual living budget.

  • Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $12,000.
  • Reported required graduate fees, 2024-25: $150.
  • Reported part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $500 per credit hour.

A student's total cost also depends on course load, housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses. Before comparing offers, obtain a current program-specific cost estimate and check whether its tuition schedule differs from the 2024-25 figures. Subtract confirmed grants or scholarships from the appropriate published costs; a loan can help pay a bill but does not reduce the amount ultimately owed.

What are the work-study opportunities at Bethany Theological Seminary?

Student employment and financial aid are separate considerations at Bethany. A part-time job provides wages for work performed, whereas a scholarship reduces educational charges under its award terms. Federal Work-Study, when available to an eligible student through a participating school, is also earned through a job rather than paid automatically with an aid offer.

Students interested in employment should ask Bethany's financial aid and administrative offices what positions are open to seminary students, how hiring works, and whether any position qualifies as Federal Work-Study. Those details matter especially for students balancing coursework with ministry or another job. Supervised ministry or field education may carry academic credit, but it should not be treated as paid employment unless the placement explicitly offers wages.
