Affordable


As a school, our desire is to see students able to engage in ministry without considerable financial distraction. To reach this goal Western Seminary attempts to keep the cost of education as low as possible without jeopardizing its educational standards. Students at Western Seminary pay about half of the entire cost of their education through tuition fees.

Through generous donations and aggressive fundraising, the Seminary strives to make tuition affordable for all, charging students per credit hour as opposed to a flat tuition rate. The Seminary reserves the right to change fees and policies when necessary (See the information to your right to find each campus' tuition rate).
