• Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $12,780.
• Required graduate fees, 2024-25: $210.
• Part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $710 per credit hour.

Tuition and required fees are not a complete annual budget. Students also need to allow for books, housing, food, transportation, and any program-specific expenses, such as placement-related travel. They should use a current CTS tuition schedule and an individualized financial-aid offer rather than treating the 2024-25 figures as a quote for a later year.

Eligible graduate students may be able to combine institutional scholarships with federal student loans; aid terms, enrollment requirements, and program eligibility matter. Veterans and eligible family members should also check how their education benefits apply to their particular degree. Borrowing changes when expenses must be paid, not the underlying price of attendance.

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

CTS students seeking paid work should distinguish ordinary employment from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study, where offered to an eligible student, is need-based federal aid earned through an approved job; it is not a grant paid automatically against tuition.

Graduate students should ask the financial-aid office whether Work-Study is available for their award year, how eligibility is determined, and how to apply for approved openings. They can separately ask about seminary jobs, assistantships, and opportunities connected to their field. An unpaid field placement or clinical requirement should not be treated as a paid position unless its terms explicitly say so.
