You do NOT have to take your semesters consecutively. For example, if you want to take a summer session only in between regular university semesters, you will earn 10 credits towards a degree certificate from Woodlands Seminary. A degree certificate will be issued when the number of credit hours required has been fulfilled by the student, regardless of the time frame taken to earn the credits.

However, required curriculum is not offered every semester, so students will need to plan accordingly. Certain classes are only offered in the fall or spring. For example, if a student skipped the fall 2023 semester, they would have to wait until fall of 2024 to complete the required curriculum.

Woodlands Seminary is dedicated to launching leaders into ministry after they graduate. 80% of graduates (as of 2024) are in full time ministry or serving in a ministry capacity. Giving students practical experience from the beginning of the program allows you to be ready for vocational ministry after you graduate.

Tuition is $200 per credit hour. A full semester is 10 credits, with tuition summing to $2000 per semester and $6000 total.

Payment plans are available. There is a discount for prepaid tuition before the semester begins. Please reach out to seminary@wc.org for more questions about tuition!

Payment covers tuition, fees, and books. It does not cover housing, food, or any other living expenses.

At this time students are responsible for finding their own housing accommodations.

Unfortunately we do not offer scholarships or financial aid. We encourage people to raise support from family and friends if finances are a challenge.

Unfortunately we do not accept any transfer credits at this time.

Woodlands Seminary has partnered with Grace School of Theology (GSOT), an accredited college recognized by the U.S Department of Education, to provide students a pathway to an accredited associate or bachelor’s degree. Students will be able to transfer their 30 credits of completed academic classes from Woodlands Seminary to a degree program at GSOT. Students will be able to continue their studies if desired at GSOT to obtain an associate or bachelor’s degree issued by Grace School.
