• Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $15,570.
• Required graduate fees, 2024-25: $300.
• Part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $865 per credit.

Tuition and required fees do not amount to a complete annual budget. Students may also need to pay for books, housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses, and a program may have costs associated with particular activities. A part-time student's tuition depends on credits taken; multiplying the per-credit rate and then adding full-time tuition would double-count tuition. Because published rates can change, applicants should use the charge schedule for their actual entry year and compare it with their individual aid offer. Scholarship or other assistance may reduce what they ultimately pay.

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

FST students considering paid work should distinguish an ordinary part-time job from Federal Work-Study, which is a need-based financial-aid program with its own eligibility and funding rules. Neither a financial-aid award nor enrollment at FST automatically provides a job.

Students should ask FST's financial-aid office whether Federal Work-Study is available for their program and aid year, how eligibility is determined, and where approved positions are advertised. They should also confirm whether any jobs on the University of San Diego campus are open to students enrolled at FST. Ministry placements and internships can offer experience, but they should not be treated as paid employment unless the position's terms say so.
