Sacred Heart Seminary and School of Theology

What is the cost of studying for a year at Sacred Heart Seminary and School of Theology?

The most clearly defined published cost figures here are graduate charges for the 2024-25 academic year. Reported full-time graduate tuition was the same for in-state and out-of-state students; mandatory fees were listed separately.

• Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $23,020.
• Required graduate fees, 2024-25: $1,075.
• Part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $710 per credit hour for in-state and out-of-state students.

Adding the reported full-time tuition and required fees gives $24,095 for that reporting year, before housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses. That calculation is not a current-year bill or an individual cost-of-attendance estimate. Program load, current rates, living arrangements, and any support from a diocese or religious community can materially change what a student pays.

Students exploring aid should ask the school which institutional scholarships or sponsorship arrangements apply to their program and whether they are eligible for federal graduate aid. Federal student loans, where available to an eligible student in an eligible program, must be repaid; a scholarship or sponsor contribution generally does not. Comparing an itemized current-year budget with a written aid offer is more useful than comparing tuition alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at Sacred Heart Seminary and School of Theology?

Prospective students should distinguish a paid campus job from Federal Work-Study, a financial aid program for eligible students. Enrollment at Sacred Heart Seminary and School of Theology does not, by itself, establish eligibility for a work-study award or a particular position.

A student considering employment alongside classes or formation should ask the financial aid office whether their program participates in Federal Work-Study, what application steps apply, and how any job is scheduled around academic and ministry obligations. Parish work and supervised ministry may provide professional experience, but they should not be assumed to be paid employment.
