Nazarene Theological Seminary

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

For the 2024-25 academic year, reported full-time graduate tuition at Nazarene Theological Seminary was $10,620, with $400 in required fees. Together, those published charges were $11,020 before living expenses, books, transportation, and other personal costs. The reported tuition and fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state graduate students.

The reported part-time graduate tuition charge was $590 per credit hour. A part-time student's bill therefore depends on the number of credits taken and any applicable fees. These figures are for 2024-25; applicants budgeting for a later year should use that year's published rates rather than treating the older amount as a current quote.

Tuition and mandatory fees are not a complete cost of attendance. Students should add realistic estimates for housing, food, course materials, transportation, and any program-specific travel or practical training. Grants or scholarships may reduce what a student pays, while loans spread payment over time rather than reducing the underlying cost.

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

Students at Nazarene Theological Seminary may need to distinguish paid employment from practical ministry experience. A supervised placement may be academically valuable without being a paid job, and ordinary part-time work is not automatically Federal Work-Study.

Federal Work-Study, when available to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through an approved job rather than a grant paid in advance. Students interested in campus employment should ask the financial aid office whether they qualify, how positions are posted, and whether an award depends on securing a job. They should also check how their program's course and placement schedule would fit alongside paid work.

Career planning for seminary students may involve conversations with faculty, ministry-placement contacts, denominational leaders, and prospective employers. Applicants seeking a specific service - such as résumé review, interview coaching, or job listings - should confirm how that service is offered for their program rather than assuming a conventional undergraduate career-center model.
