Concordia Seminary

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

The published price of attendance depends on the academic year, program, enrollment load, and housing choice. In IPEDS reporting for 2024-25, Concordia Seminary's full-time graduate tuition was $32,110, with $150 in required fees; the reported part-time graduate tuition charge was $1,378 per credit hour. The reported in-state and out-of-state charges were the same.

• Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $32,110.
• Required graduate fees, 2024-25: $150.
• Part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $1,378 per credit hour.

Those figures are published charges, not a complete annual budget or an individual student's final bill. Housing, food, books, transportation, health expenses, and personal costs add to the amount a student must plan for. The seminary has publicized substantial tuition support for eligible residential pastoral and deaconess students; applicants should confirm the current terms for their own program rather than subtract an assumed award from the published price. Federal loans, applicable institutional assistance, outside scholarships, and eligible veterans' benefits may affect what a student pays or borrows.

What are the work-study opportunities at Concordia Seminary?

Student employment and Federal Work-Study should be treated as separate possibilities at Concordia Seminary. A campus job is paid work; Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is a financial-aid program that helps fund qualifying employment. Neither should be assumed to cover tuition or living costs in full.

Students considering part-time work should ask the financial aid office about current Work-Study eligibility and the office handling student job openings. They should also compare a proposed work schedule with classes, worship, field education, and any off-campus ministry assignment. Supervised ministry may be academically required without functioning as an ordinary paid student job.
