Tuition and Fees
The Seminary adheres to the principle expressed by The Association of Theological Schools that students should expect to cover a manageable portion of the cost of their theological education. That principle notwithstanding, Hood’s tuition is far lower than the actual cost of its education. A conservative estimate of the average cost of theological education is approximately three times the cost of the tuition at Hood.

Each course in the certificate programs at Hood Theological Seminary is $500 per course. The certificate program courses cannot be applied to any of the master's programs at the Seminary. Please click to review our certificate program offerings at Hood.

Tuition costs are kept as low as possible through the support of many individuals, churches, and foundations.
