• Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $28,000.
• Reported required graduate fees, 2024-25: $236.
• Part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $1,500 per credit hour.

These figures are not a complete annual cost of attendance. A student may also need to budget for housing, food, books, transportation, personal expenses and any program-specific travel. Nor is the published price necessarily the amount a student ultimately pays after scholarships or other assistance. Before comparing offers, request a current, individualized estimate that uses one academic year consistently and shows both direct college charges and expected living costs.

What are the work-study opportunities at Reconstructionist Rabbinical College?

Paid work during rabbinical study may take several forms, but a student job, a supervised placement and Federal Work-Study are not interchangeable. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid that generally requires eligibility through the financial aid process and payment for hours actually worked; an award is not cash paid in advance.

Applicants should ask RRC's financial aid and program staff which campus or community positions are currently open to students, whether particular practical placements are paid, and how employment fits around classes and required learning. Someone relying on wages to cover living costs should budget using an actual job offer and expected hours, not an assumed work-study award.
