• Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $8,640 for in-state or out-of-state students.
• Required graduate fees, 2024-25: $685.
• Reported part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $395 per credit hour for in-state or out-of-state students, before applicable fees.

These are reported charges for a specified academic year, not a current personalized bill or a complete cost-of-attendance estimate. A student's actual expense will depend on credit load, current rates, course materials, living arrangements, and any aid for which the student qualifies. Ask for a program-based estimate covering the entire expected course sequence; multiplying a single year's tuition by a program's nominal length may overlook part-time enrollment or future rate changes.

What are the work-study opportunities at Virginia Beach Theological Seminary?

Students considering paid work while enrolled should separate three possibilities: a regular part-time job, a seminary position, and Federal Work-Study. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program, not a guarantee of employment or a payment automatically deducted from tuition.

Ask the financial aid office whether the intended program and enrollment status qualify for Federal Work-Study and how eligible students apply for positions. A ministry placement or internship may build experience but should not be presumed to pay wages. Students balancing employment and coursework should also check when required classes meet and whether their degree can be completed part time.
