Southern California Seminary

What is the cost of studying for a year at Southern California Seminary?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Southern California Seminary was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition and required fees are only part of the amount a student may need for the year.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $17,640 for 2024-25.
• Required undergraduate fees: $1,440 for 2024-25.
• Combined reported tuition and required fees: $19,080 for 2024-25, before living expenses and other costs.
• Reported part-time undergraduate charge: $490 per credit hour for 2024-25, before applicable fees.

Students should budget separately for books, transportation, food, housing, and personal expenses according to their circumstances. A commuter's budget may differ substantially from a resident's. Graduate students should use their own program's current tuition schedule rather than assuming the undergraduate total applies to them.

The published amount is a sticker price, not an individual net price after grants and scholarships. In the reported 2024-25 figures, 41% of students had student loans; that percentage does not indicate how much any one student borrowed. Reported average undergraduate grant aid was $6,369 among recipients, not an award every applicant can expect. Eligible students should review the current financial aid instructions for federal aid, possible state or institutional assistance, and veteran or military education benefits, then compare the resulting aid offer with a complete personal budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Southern California Seminary?

Students should distinguish paid employment, Federal Work-Study, and academic internships when considering work alongside a Southern California Seminary program. An internship may satisfy an academic requirement without being a paid job, while Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid earned through an eligible position rather than money automatically credited toward tuition.

The available information does not establish a current list of seminary student jobs or confirm that every student can receive a Federal Work-Study award. Students interested in paid campus work should ask the financial aid or student-services office whether positions are offered, how openings are posted, and whether a work-study award is needed to apply.

Internship expectations should be checked against the specific degree plan. A prospective student can also ask who helps arrange placements, whether a placement must meet supervision requirements, and what expenses - such as travel or background checks - the student may need to cover.
