─ Tuition & Fees
What does it cost?
Theological education is a real investment — and we work hard to keep it within reach. The vast majority of our students receive one or more scholarships to help offset the cost. International and domestic students pay the same per-credit rate, and all amounts on this page are in Canadian dollars.
