For the 2024-25 reporting year, PSR's reported full-time graduate tuition was $19,560, with $750 in required fees, for a combined $20,310 in tuition and fees. The reported part-time graduate tuition charge was $815 per credit hour. The reported tuition and fee amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state graduate students.

• Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $19,560.
• Required graduate fees, 2024-25: $750.
• Part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $815 per credit hour.

Tuition and fees are not a complete annual budget. Students may also need to pay for housing, food, books, transportation, health coverage, and any program-related travel or fieldwork. These expenses can vary considerably in the Bay Area. The amount an individual ultimately pays will also depend on enrollment intensity and aid; applicants should use PSR's current-year charges and their own financial-aid offer rather than treating the 2024-25 figures as a current quote.

Eligible graduate students may be able to use institutional assistance, outside scholarships, federal graduate loans, or qualifying military education benefits. Federal graduate-aid rules and borrowing limits can change, so an aid offer and a realistic living-expense budget are more informative than the published tuition figure alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at Pacific School of Religion?

Graduate students may be able to combine study with paid work, but an ordinary part-time job, a field placement, and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study, when available to an eligible student, is need-based financial aid earned through an approved job rather than a tuition discount paid automatically.

Students interested in campus or community-based employment should ask PSR's financial-aid office whether their aid package includes Work-Study and where approved positions are posted. They should also check whether a ministry or nonprofit placement is paid, carries academic credit, or both. For career planning, faculty, field-education supervisors, and GTU connections may be relevant contacts, but a placement or professional network should not be mistaken for a guaranteed job offer.
