Hood Theological Seminary

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

For 2024-25, the reported full-time graduate tuition at Hood Theological Seminary was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. The published tuition and required-fee figures describe school charges, not a complete annual living budget.

• Full-time graduate tuition, in state or out of state: $19,600 for 2024-25.
• Required graduate fees, in state or out of state: $810 for 2024-25.
• Part-time graduate tuition, in state or out of state: $700 per credit hour for 2024-25.

Tuition plus required fees for a full-time graduate student totaled $20,410 under those reported figures. Books, transportation, housing, food, and personal expenses would add to the amount a student needs for the year. Part-time students should calculate charges from their planned credit load rather than treat the full-time total as their bill. Scholarships or other assistance may reduce what an individual ultimately pays, while loans finance costs that generally must be repaid.

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

Students interested in paid work during seminary should distinguish an ordinary job from Federal Work-Study, a need-based student employment program. A work-study award, when offered to an eligible student, is generally earned through paid work rather than applied automatically as an upfront tuition discount.

Prospective students can ask Hood's financial aid office whether work-study positions are offered for their program and enrollment status, how positions are filled, and whether a financial aid application is required. They should budget conservatively until they have both an award and a confirmed job. Ministry placements or supervised educational experiences should likewise not be assumed to be paid employment.
