The 2024-25 IPEDS figures put Shepherds Theological Seminary's full-time graduate tuition at $7,740, with $1,105 in required fees, for a combined published amount of $8,845 before living and other expenses. The reported charges were the same for in-state and out-of-state graduate students.

• Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $7,740.
• Required graduate fees, 2024-25: $1,105.
• Part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $455 per credit hour.

These figures are a historical comparison point, not a quote for a future enrollment term. A student's full budget also needs books, transportation, housing, food, and personal expenses; course load and program-specific charges may change the total. Before accepting an offer, request the current tuition schedule and an individualized estimate, then subtract only aid the student is actually eligible to receive. Published tuition and a student's final out-of-pocket cost are not the same thing.

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

Students looking for paid work while attending Shepherds Theological Seminary should distinguish an ordinary part-time job from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study, where offered to an eligible student, is financial aid earned through approved employment; it is not a grant paid simply for enrolling.

Applicants should ask the financial aid office whether their degree and enrollment status qualify for Work-Study and whether approved positions are available. Church employment, internships, and other off-campus jobs may provide relevant experience, but they should not be counted as Work-Study or applied to an aid budget unless the arrangement has been formally approved. A graduate assistantship, if offered for a particular term, would have its own duties and compensation terms.
