Wesley Theological Seminary

What is the cost of studying for a year at Wesley Theological Seminary?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, Wesley's published IPEDS graduate figures were $21,465 in full-time tuition and $1,424 in required fees. Together, those figures total $22,889 before housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses. The reported tuition and fee amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state graduate students.

The reported part-time graduate tuition charge was $795 per credit hour in 2024-25. That per-credit figure should not be multiplied into the full-time total above; the two figures describe different ways of reporting tuition. Students should use the current schedule for their degree and course load, then add applicable fees and living costs to build an individual annual budget.

Financial aid can reduce what a student pays directly, but loans still have to be repaid. Graduate students should ask Wesley's financial aid office about institutional scholarships, applicable deadlines, federal loan eligibility, and the requirements for any denominational assistance. Federal Pell Grants are generally for eligible undergraduates, not a standard source of funding for seminary graduate study. IPEDS 2024-25 also reported an average of $15,731 in graduate military education benefits for the recipients represented by that measure; it is not an amount every eligible student receives.

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

Wesley students may combine study with paid work, but a job, an internship or field placement, and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is a need-based student employment program; eligibility and an available position must be established through financial aid and hiring processes. It is not an automatic payment credited to a tuition bill.

Students interested in campus employment should ask the financial aid or student employment office where positions are posted, whether graduate students are eligible, and how work hours fit their course schedules. Ministry placements can provide professional experience, but applicants should confirm whether a particular placement is paid and whether it earns academic credit. Wesley's leadership centers, faculty connections, and placement-related activities may offer ways to explore careers; none should be mistaken for a verified employment outcome or job guarantee.
