• 2024-25 full-time graduate tuition: $20,813 for in-state or out-of-state students.
• 2024-25 required graduate fees: $40.
• 2024-25 part-time graduate tuition: $925 per credit.

Tuition and required fees do not cover every expense. A realistic personal budget also accounts for books, housing, food, transportation, and any program-specific travel or fieldwork. Students should use the current tuition schedule and a financial aid offer to calculate their own annual cost; the reported full-time and per-credit figures represent different enrollment patterns and should not be added together.

What are the work-study opportunities at Starr King School for the Ministry?

Starr King students who want paid work during their studies should distinguish a student job from an internship, supervised ministry experience, or Federal Work-Study award. An educational placement may satisfy a degree requirement without being paid, while an ordinary part-time job does not necessarily count toward academic credit.

Federal Work-Study, when awarded by a participating school, is need-based aid earned through an eligible job rather than money applied automatically to tuition. Students should check their individual aid offer and ask the financial aid office how eligible positions are advertised and paid. Those seeking ministry-related experience should separately ask their program how placements are approved and supervised.
