Methodist Theological School in Ohio

What is the cost of studying for a year at Methodist Theological School in Ohio?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, MTSO's published full-time graduate tuition was $30,421 for both Ohio and out-of-state students. Reported required graduate fees were $0; the reported part-time graduate charge was $1,049 per credit hour, regardless of state residency.

Those figures describe tuition and reported required fees, not a complete annual budget. A student may also need to pay for books, housing, food, transportation and personal expenses. Course load and program length matter especially at a graduate school: a part-time student's annual tuition may be lower while the degree takes longer to finish.

Students comparing an offer of admission with these 2024-25 figures should use the tuition schedule and financial aid award for their actual entry year. Scholarships and other aid can change the amount paid, while borrowing can add repayment costs after enrollment.

What are the work-study opportunities at Methodist Theological School in Ohio?

Students seeking paid work while enrolled should distinguish a campus job from a supervised ministry placement or internship. An academic placement may be required for credit without being a paid position.

Federal Work-Study, when available to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through approved employment rather than a grant paid in advance. Ordinary part-time jobs have different hiring and eligibility rules. Prospective students should ask MTSO's financial aid office whether Work-Study forms part of their award and where eligible students find openings; they should separately confirm whether a proposed field placement pays a stipend.
