Luther Rice College & Seminary

What is the cost of studying for a year at Luther Rice College & Seminary?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $9,840, with $1,480 in required fees - a combined published tuition-and-fee amount of $11,320. The same reported undergraduate tuition and fee rates applied to in-state and out-of-state students. Part-time undergraduate tuition was $410 per credit hour, before applicable fees.

At the graduate level, reported full-time tuition was $6,516 plus $1,110 in required fees. Part-time graduate tuition was $362 per credit hour, before applicable fees. These are rates for the stated reporting year, not a quote for a future term; students should check the current schedule and their program's enrollment definition.

Tuition and mandatory fees are only part of an annual budget. Books, technology, transportation, housing, food, and personal expenses can change the amount a student needs to finance, especially when living off campus. Published charges also differ from net price, which reflects applicable grants and scholarships. In 2024-25 reporting, the average grant aid awarded to undergraduate recipients was $4,666; an average award is not an amount every applicant will receive.

Eligible students may be able to use federal grants or loans, institutional assistance, or qualifying military education benefits. Aid type and amount depend on the student and program. A personalized financial-aid offer and a full living-expense budget are more useful than tuition alone when comparing enrollment options.

What are the work-study opportunities at Luther Rice College & Seminary?

Students considering paid work while enrolled should distinguish an ordinary part-time job from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program: eligibility, if offered to a student, depends on the financial-aid process and does not guarantee a particular job or number of hours.

Ask Luther Rice's financial-aid office whether Work-Study positions are available for the intended term, how students apply, and whether jobs can accommodate their course format. Students can also ask their academic program about approved internships or ministry placements, which may offer experience but are not necessarily paid employment or Work-Study jobs.

For career planning, prospective students should establish which concrete services they can use - such as résumé feedback, job postings, internship guidance, or employer introductions - rather than assuming that academic preparation includes job placement.
