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

For 2024-25, the reported full-time graduate tuition at Phillips was the same for in-state and out-of-state students: $11,520 for the academic year, plus $200 in required fees. Those figures describe published educational charges, not the full cost of living while enrolled.

• 2024-25 full-time graduate tuition: $11,520.
• 2024-25 required graduate fees: $200.
• 2024-25 part-time graduate tuition: $480 per credit hour for in-state and out-of-state students.

At the reported rates, tuition and required fees for a full-time year total $11,720 before books, housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses. Part-time students should calculate charges from their planned credits and check which fees apply to their enrollment. Because tuition schedules can change, an applicant should use the current program-specific schedule and financial-aid offer - not the published price alone - to estimate what they would pay.

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

Phillips students considering paid work should distinguish ordinary employment from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal student-aid program for eligible students at participating institutions; it is not an automatic job assignment or a reduction in the tuition bill.

Students should ask the financial-aid office whether Work-Study is available to them, what application steps apply, and how positions are filled. Those already employed in a congregation or nonprofit should also check whether their degree requires supervised ministry experience: a paid job meets an academic requirement only when the program approves it. Professional contacts developed through courses or placements may be useful, but they are not verified job-placement outcomes.
