Princeton Theological Seminary

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

Princeton Theological Seminary's published charges need to be read alongside a student's aid offer and living expenses. For the 2024-25 reporting year, IPEDS listed the same full-time graduate tuition for in-state and out-of-state students:

• Full-time graduate tuition: $20,900 for the reported academic year.
• Required full-time graduate fees: $0 in that IPEDS reporting category.
• Part-time graduate tuition: $805 per credit hour.

Those figures are not a complete annual cost of attendance or a quote for a later year. A student may also need to budget for housing, food, books, transportation, health coverage, and personal expenses; program structure and enrollment level affect the total. Institutional scholarships can substantially change what an eligible student pays, but a tuition award does not necessarily cover living costs. Compare the current program-specific budget and written aid offer rather than combining charges from different academic years into one estimate.

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

Student employment may help Princeton Theological Seminary students meet living expenses and gain experience, but a campus job is separate from a scholarship or loan. Positions can differ in hours, duties, eligibility, and availability from term to term.

Students interested in work should look for current seminary openings and ask financial aid how earnings affect their individual aid package. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's award, is an employment arrangement: the amount awarded is generally earned through qualifying work rather than paid automatically. It should not be confused with an unpaid field placement, a ministry internship, or a guarantee of employment. Students planning substantial work hours should also consider the time demands of coursework and any required supervised practice.
