Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York

What is the cost of studying for a year at Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, Union's reported full-time graduate tuition was the same for New York residents and students from other states. Tuition and required fees together came to $31,242 for that reporting year, before housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

• Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $23,670.
• Reported required graduate fees, 2024-25: $7,572.
• Reported part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $1,320 per credit hour, before applicable fees.

These are reported charges for a particular year, not a personalized bill or a current-year price guarantee. A part-time student's charges depend on credits and applicable fees; a full-time student's overall budget depends heavily on housing and other New York City expenses. Applicants should compare Union's current program-specific tuition schedule and estimated cost of attendance with an individual aid offer, taking care not to count a fee or housing charge twice.

Eligible graduate students may be able to use institutional scholarships, federal graduate loans, and qualifying military education benefits. Award terms, enrollment requirements, and loan eligibility matter more to an individual budget than a published tuition figure alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York?

Paid work can help a Union student meet expenses, but a job, an internship, and financial aid are not interchangeable. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, provides an opportunity to earn wages through qualifying work; it is not a grant paid in full at the start of a term or a guarantee of a position.

Students considering campus employment should ask Union's financial-aid and hiring offices which positions are open to their degree program, how to apply, and whether a job requires a Work-Study award. They should also check weekly-hour limits against course and field-education commitments. A ministry placement or academic internship may serve a degree requirement without being a paid student job.
