Graduate Theological Union

What is the cost of studying for a year at Graduate Theological Union?

For 2024-25, IPEDS lists GTU's full-time graduate tuition at $25,042 for both California and out-of-state students. Its reported part-time graduate charge is $1,092 per credit hour for either residency category. These are reported tuition figures, not a complete estimate of what it costs to attend.

• Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $25,042 for in-state and out-of-state students.
• Part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $1,092 per credit hour for in-state and out-of-state students.

A personal budget also needs to account for housing, food, books, transportation, health-related costs, and any program-specific charges. Students should use the current degree program's tuition schedule and cost-of-attendance estimate rather than add expenses from a different academic year to the 2024-25 tuition figure.

Eligible graduate students may be considered for institutional scholarships or other program funding and may qualify for federal student loans under applicable rules. The relevant aid process, award terms, and deadlines depend on the degree-granting institution. An aid offer - not published tuition alone - shows what a particular student would need to finance.

What are the work-study opportunities at Graduate Theological Union?

Student employment at GTU should be evaluated separately from scholarships and loans. A paid library, research, administrative, or other campus position may provide income and experience, but an offer of admission does not guarantee a job.

Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package, is permission to earn wages through qualifying employment; it is not money automatically credited in full against a tuition bill. Students should confirm their own eligibility with the financial aid office and ask the employing unit how positions are advertised, how many hours are available, and whether work can fit their course or research schedule. Research assistance and professional contacts may also support career development, but they are not substitutes for verified employment outcomes.
