Memphis Theological Seminary

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

In the 2024-25 IPEDS figures, Memphis Theological Seminary's reported full-time graduate tuition was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Published tuition and required fees are only part of a student's annual budget.

• Full-time graduate tuition: $11,520 for the academic year.
• Required graduate fees: $85 for the academic year.
• Part-time graduate tuition: $640 per credit hour for both in-state and out-of-state students.

On those reported figures, full-time tuition plus required fees totals $11,605; that is not a complete cost of attendance. Books, housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses depend on the student's circumstances. A part-time student should calculate tuition from the actual credits planned and check for course-specific charges before using the full-time figure as a comparison.

Scholarships, federal graduate loans where eligible, and qualifying veterans' education benefits may change what a student pays or borrows. Graduate students generally should not budget for undergraduate Pell Grants. An individual aid offer - not the published tuition figure - provides the clearest view of expected out-of-pocket cost.

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

Students interested in paid work should distinguish ordinary employment from Federal Work-Study. A Federal Work-Study position requires an eligible aid award and an available job; being admitted to the seminary does not itself create either one.

Students can ask the financial aid office whether Federal Work-Study is offered for their program and how positions are posted. Seminary-related work might also arise through congregations or community organizations, but those jobs should not be treated as institutional aid unless an award letter says so. Ministry placements and internships may serve academic or vocational purposes without being paid employment.
