Covenant Theological Seminary

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

Graduate tuition, required fees, and living expenses together determine the cost of attending Covenant Theological Seminary. In the 2024-25 IPEDS reporting year, the figures for full-time graduate students were the same for Missouri residents and students from other states:

• Reported full-time graduate tuition: $15,860.
• Reported required graduate fees: $310.
• Reported part-time graduate tuition: $610 per credit hour.

The reported tuition and required fees add to $16,170 for that academic year; this is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate or a current-price quote. Housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses are additional considerations. A part-time student's bill will depend on credits taken, while an individual student's eventual cost may change with scholarships, other aid, and program-specific charges. Applicants should use the seminary's tuition schedule and aid offer for their actual entry year rather than combine prices from different years.

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

Paid work during seminary may include ordinary part-time employment or student jobs, but those should not be confused with Federal Work-Study. Federal Work-Study, where offered to an eligible student, is need-based financial aid earned through a qualifying job rather than a grant paid simply for enrollment.

Students interested in campus employment should ask Covenant's financial aid and hiring offices which positions are open, whether work-study eligibility is required, and how hours fit around classes and fieldwork. Ministry placements and counseling practica may provide professional experience, but applicants should not budget for them as paid employment unless compensation is expressly confirmed.
