Tuition & Fees

M.Div. & MASC Tuition

Starr King charges a lump-sum tuition fee for the M.Div. and the MASC programs, normally paid over six semesters (M.Div.) or four semesters (MASC), unless the student makes other arrangements with the Dean of Students.

M.Div. tuition for students entering Fall 2007: $41,100

MASC tuition for students entering Fall 2007: $27,400

This tuition will increase modestly in subsequent years.

There is a per semester fee for M.Div. students whose program extends beyond six semesters, and for MASC students whose program extends beyond four semesters. As of Fall 2007, this fee is $500.

Particular courses may include additional fees for readers, materials or fieldtrips.

Students who choose part-time study (half-time or less) in the M.Div. or MASC programs pay half the total tuition, regardless of the number of units they take. In other words, those who attend quarter time, still pay half the tuition. Note that a minimum of 3 units per semester is required to maintain status in the program.

Tuition must be paid in full before graduation.


M.A. Tuition

The M.A. is a joint Starr King and Graduate Theological Union degree. Because M.A. tuition is set by the GTU, it can change during a student’s course of study.

M.A. tuition for students entering fall 2007: $6,665 per semester for the first two years of residence (full-time status means at least 12 units per semester).

Tuition for each following semester: $3,330. GTU thesis filing fee: $150.

Students who choose part-time study (a minimum of 3 units per semester) in the M.A. program pay per course, according to the Graduate Theological Union fee schedule.

Tuition is payable each semester, upon registration, and must be paid in full by graduation.
