Westminster Theological Seminary

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

For the 2024-25 reporting year, Westminster's full-time graduate tuition was $29,700, with $650 in required fees, for $30,350 before living and other expenses. The reported part-time graduate charge was $675 per credit. The reported graduate charges were the same for in-state and out-of-state students.

• Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $29,700.
• Required graduate fees, 2024-25: $650.
• Part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $675 per credit.

These are charges for the stated reporting year, not a current bill or a complete cost of attendance. A realistic budget also includes books, housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses; program length and course load determine how many terms a student pays for. Applicants should compare the current program-specific tuition schedule and aid offer with a full living-expense budget rather than multiplying a per-credit price without checking required credits and fees.

Westminster offers institutional aid opportunities, while eligible students may also consider federal graduate loans and qualifying military education benefits. In 2024-25 reporting, the average graduate military education benefit among recipients was $5,978; that figure is not an award available to every student. Aid eligibility and the amount ultimately owed are individual decisions.

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

Students considering part-time work should distinguish ordinary employment from Federal Work-Study, which is a need-based federal aid program with eligibility and available funding requirements. A job does not become a work-study position simply because a student holds it while enrolled.

Applicants who hope to work during a degree should ask Westminster's financial aid office whether they qualify for work-study and how approved positions are advertised. They should separately ask their program about teaching, research, or other student jobs. Employment income, institutional scholarships, and federal loans affect a budget in different ways, and a job's hours may need to fit around classes, fieldwork, or ministry commitments.
