The following charges are for the 2024-2025 academic year. Costs are likely to change each year. Current charges are available from the Office of Admissions.

Brite Divinity School tuition in 2024-2025 is $1000 per semester hour for the Masters and Ph.D. programs as well as for students who entered the D.Min. program prior to May 2015. Students entering the D.Min. program in May 2015 or after are charged a program fee of $13,200. This fee is due in equal installments of $2200 in May and October for three years. Prior to Summer 2023 and after Spring 2026—the period of Next Brite scholarships—the basic Brite tuition grant under provisions of the Elmer D. Henson Awards program is available to all qualified and admitted students in the Master of Divinity program. That grant normally provides from 50-80 percent of tuition, or, in 2022-2023, $500--$800 per semester hour. The student’s cost is $200-$500 per semester hour. Tuition assistance is also available for Master of Arts in Theology and Ministry, Master of Theological Studies, Master of Theology, Certificate of Theological Studies, and other certificate programs. All students admitted to the Doctor of Philosophy program receive full tuition grants for the first four years of study.

NOTE: Tuition grants will be awarded for all the hours required for the student’s degree program plus an additional three hours (M.A.T.M., M.T.S., Th.M., C.T.S., and other certificate programs) or six hours (M.Div. and Ph.D.) should a student be required either to repeat courses or to choose to take courses beyond the number required for a degree. For credit hours beyond this limit, the student will be expected to pay full tuition. Ph.D. students are also eligible for remission of audit fees for up to two audit courses. All such courses must be related to the student’s program, and must be approved by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
