Tuition and Fees
The tuition and fee schedule that follows is effective beginning with the fall 2026 semester. Tuition, fees, and other expenses are subject to change without notice and are due by the dates that are published each semester. Students may pay their tuition balance in full, obtain a guaranteed student loan, or set up a payment plan (if available). Because of contributions to Denver Seminary, students pay only a portion of the real cost of their education.
