Tuition and Fees

Free Lutheran Seminary attempts to provide the best theological education at the most reasonable cost. Charges to students are kept as low as possible.

 Application fee (one-time fee)  $45
 Tuition, per semester (full-time)  $4500
      Inter-term (three credit hours)  N/C
      Per semester hour (part-time)  $300
 Auditor's fee (per semester hour)  $165
 Library fee (per semester)  $40
 Graduation fee  $*50
      (*$30 for “special” students)  

Spouses of regularly-enrolled full-time students may enroll for an unlimited number of classes at Association Free Lutheran Bible School without paying tuition.

The Seminary has a limited number of apartments available to married students and their families. These units (2- and 3- bedrooms) are made available at a monthly rate which is almost half the cost of renting comparable apartment space in the Twin Cities area. The Seminary administration offers counsel regarding other housing arrangements of which it is made aware from time to time. The Seminary strongly urges students to visit the campus well in advance of the opening of the school year in order to survey the housing situation and, where applicable, job opportunities.

In addition to the above-named expenses and the usual personal expenditures, the student's budget should include at least $500 per year to cover the cost of textbooks and other academic supplies.

Terms of Payment

The payment of tuition and fees should be made at the beginning of each semester. However, those students who desire to pay their tuition in installments may do so if satisfactory arrangements are made with the business office. All accounts must be paid in full before graduation. A student may not be permitted to continue his studies if there is a past-due account from a previous semester.
