Claremont School of Theology

What is the cost of studying for a year at Claremont School of Theology?

In 2024-25 federal reporting, Claremont School of Theology listed the same graduate tuition for in-state and out-of-state students. These are published tuition figures, not a complete budget or a prediction of what a student will pay after aid.

• Full-time graduate tuition: $26,520 for the academic year.
• Part-time graduate tuition: $1,105 per credit hour.
• Reported required fees for full-time graduate students: $0.

Students should budget separately for living expenses, transportation, books, supplies and any charges associated with their particular courses or activities. Part-time students should multiply the applicable per-credit rate by their planned credits rather than assume the full-time figure applies to them. Because the figures above describe 2024-25, an applicant planning a later start should obtain that year's tuition schedule and a personalized cost-of-attendance estimate.

Eligible graduate students may be able to use institutional assistance, outside scholarships, federal graduate aid or qualifying military education benefits. Aid can reduce an individual bill, but loans must generally be repaid. A financial aid offer is the better basis for comparing an applicant's likely cost than tuition alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at Claremont School of Theology?

Students interested in working while enrolled should distinguish a paid campus position from Federal Work-Study, a form of need-based financial aid. Eligibility for Work-Study, when offered, does not itself guarantee a job; a student must generally secure an eligible position and earn wages through work.

Applicants can ask CST's financial aid office how student positions are posted, whether their aid package includes Work-Study and how many hours are realistic alongside their degree requirements. A ministry placement or internship may serve an academic purpose without being a paid job. For career planning, students should also ask their program about supervised practice, employer contacts and alumni connections relevant to their intended occupation rather than assume those activities constitute job placement.
