Pittsburgh Theological Seminary

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

The reported 2024-25 graduate tuition at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary was the same for Pennsylvania residents and students from other states. Tuition and required fees are only part of an academic-year budget.

• Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $12,690.
• Required full-time graduate fees, 2024-25: $300.
• Combined reported full-time tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $12,990.
• Reported part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $470 per credit hour for in-state and out-of-state students.

Books, housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses would increase the amount a student needs for the year. The per-credit figure should not be treated as a complete part-time bill because applicable fees may be charged separately. These are figures for 2024-25, not a quote for a later entering class; current tuition schedules and an individual financial-aid offer are needed to estimate what a student would actually pay.

Financing may include institutional scholarships and, for eligible students, federal graduate loans. Graduate aid rules differ from undergraduate grant programs. Students seeking federal aid generally need to complete the FAFSA and meet enrollment and other eligibility requirements; veterans should have their specific education benefit certified rather than assume it will cover every expense.

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

Student employment can help with expenses at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, but a job should not be assumed to be part of a financial-aid offer. Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is earned through approved employment rather than paid as an automatic tuition discount.

Availability depends on the student's aid eligibility, the seminary's funding and positions, and the employer's hiring decision. Ordinary part-time jobs operate differently and may not require Federal Work-Study eligibility. Students seeking paid work should ask the financial-aid office how positions are posted, whether graduate students may receive Work-Study, and how expected work hours fit with classes and supervised ministry commitments.
