| How much does this cost? |
| Tuition is the same as for on campus Master's level courses - school year 2011-2012 - the tuition is $887.00 per credit. SDA Theological Seminary MDiv students receive a 50% discount from the stated MA rate. Additionally, if the distance course credits fall within a current MDiv student’s load for the semester the MDiv student receives a further discount (see the SDLC office for specific details). Additionally, all students in different forms of distance education programs who pay tuition directly to the main campus will be charged a $100 general fee each semester at registration. See AU bulletin p. 59. |
