Institute of Lutheran Theology

What is the cost of studying for a year at Institute of Lutheran Theology?

For 2024-25, ILT reported the same published tuition for in-state and out-of-state students. The figures below are tuition and required fees, not a complete annual cost of attendance.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $12,800; required fees: $630, for $13,430 combined.
• Part-time undergraduate tuition: $430 per credit hour for both in-state and out-of-state students.
• Full-time graduate tuition: $8,370; required fees: $730, for $9,100 combined.
• Part-time graduate tuition: $465 per credit hour for both in-state and out-of-state students.

A student's budget also needs to account for books, technology, transportation, and living expenses, plus any program-specific charges. Remote attendance may change travel and housing costs, but it does not eliminate ordinary living expenses. These are dated published prices rather than a current bill or an estimate after aid; applicants should request a cost estimate for their program, enrollment intensity, and academic year.

What are the work-study opportunities at Institute of Lutheran Theology?

Students should distinguish a paid job from Federal Work-Study, which is a need-based financial-aid program with its own eligibility rules. An aid award that includes Work-Study is generally an opportunity to earn wages through an eligible job, not money automatically credited in full to a tuition bill.

Applicants considering employment while enrolled should ask ILT's financial aid office whether they qualify for Federal Work-Study and, separately, how students apply for any available institutional positions. They should also check whether required courses can be scheduled around work. A ministry placement or internship should not be assumed to be paid student employment.
