What Does it Cost?
Tuition at NGA for the MDiv and BD programs in 2023-24 is $8000 ($240/credit hour). $4000 is paid by the student; $4000 is paid by the student's church. Requiring both the student and the church to split the cost of the tuition promotes the active involvement of both the student and his pastor/mentor. Additionally, because the program is not residential, the church will have a man actively participating in the life of that local body. He's not lost to them while he does his theological and pastoral training in residence hundreds of miles away at a dusty seminary. That kind of organic help is worth the church's investment. The first year of the BD program is the Groundwork curriculum and is paid solely by the student—$2400 for the year.
Our Groundwork program—for first year BD students and others—is $2400 for the 2-semester program.
Our Certificate in Bible & Theology is $120/credit hour. [$5040 for the entire three-year program]
Students are also responsible for covering the cost of each semester's books.
MDiv and BD students are required to cover travel expenses and conference fees for NGA's yearly Shepherds Conference (October) and travel expenses for a yearly orientation module in Bloomington, IN which take place the Saturday before the first week of classes each fall semester (August).
