Cost of Attendance 2025-26

The cost of attendance (COA) provides a comprehensive estimate of what you'll pay to attend Bethel Seminary. Your COA will include tuition (per-credit prices), fees, living expenses, and an allowance for books and supplies. The COA is also used to calculate your financial aid eligibility.

2025-26 cost of attendance

The financial aid office estimates that students will incur the following costs while enrolled during the 2025-26 academic year.

• Tuition. Varies by program and number of credits
  • Seminary students typically take four credits in the fall, four credits in the spring, and four credits during the summer.
• Loan and course fees. Varies by program; $12 per term
• Housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses. $1,871 per month
• Books and supplies. $50 per credit

Example

A seminary student taking a total of 12 credits (four in the fall, four in the spring, and four in the summer) at a rate of $550 per credit would expect to spend about $6,600 on tuition, $600 on books and supplies, $144 on fees, and $22,452 on living expenses (food, housing, transportation, etc.), for a total financial aid budget of $29,796.

Keep in mind

Your actual costs may differ based on your program, coursework, and personal spending choices. If you do not receive financial aid, you can still use the cost of attendance figures to estimate your costs to attend school. Please note: Bethel bills you for tuition and course-related fees. Bethel does not bill you for housing and living expenses. We add this budget item to the cost of attendance to assist you in budgeting and to calculate financial aid eligibility.

The total amount of financial aid you receive—including all scholarships, grants, and loans—cannot exceed your cost of attendance at Bethel for the aid year. Financial aid offers may be reduced for students whose total aid exceeds the cost of attendance. Please refer to our terms and conditions for complete policy details.
