Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Midwestern was $10,410, with $1,120 in required fees - $11,530 combined. The reported tuition and fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $434 per credit hour.

Graduate pricing is a separate calculation: reported full-time graduate tuition was $7,357, plus $1,120 in required fees, and part-time graduate tuition was $409 per credit hour. These published figures do not include housing, meals, books, transportation, or personal expenses; students should use the current cost-of-attendance budget for their program and living arrangement rather than adding expenses from a different reporting year.

Financial aid can change what a student pays. In 2024-25 reporting, 72% of students received financial aid, and the average undergraduate grant award from reported sources was $6,173. About 24% received student loans, which must generally be repaid. Eligible students may be able to use federal grants or loans, institutional scholarships, and qualifying military education benefits; FAFSA eligibility and individual award terms matter. For families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the reported average net price was $21,659. Net price includes more than tuition and is an average after grant aid, not a personalized bill or a scholarship offer.

What are the work-study opportunities at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary?

Students seeking paid work should distinguish an ordinary campus job from Federal Work-Study, a need-based form of federal student aid. A Work-Study award permits an eligible student to seek qualifying employment; it does not guarantee a position or pay the award amount directly toward tuition in advance.

Midwestern students may also look for work connected to campus operations or for relevant experience with churches and organizations in the Kansas City area. The financial aid office can clarify whether a student has Work-Study eligibility, while the hiring office or employer determines job openings and selection. For career preparation, applicants should ask their academic program how it helps students find supervised ministry, internships, or professional contacts rather than assuming that a general campus job provides those experiences.
