Tuition & Fees
We work hard every day to keep the tuition and fees as low as possible for you while still providing the high quality educational experience you deserve. Luther Rice offers you some of the most competitive and affordable tuition rates in the country for a private, accredited on-campus or online seminary and undergraduate degree. There are no costly DVD's or videos for you to purchase for online courses. All of your coursework and professor-student interaction for online courses is delivered through our secure academic website Blackboard.
Evaluate Overall Cost Closely
When comparing schools and the cost of attendance, always consider the total cost, which includes tuition and fees. A tuition rate may look attractive, but the various fees a school may charge can add up quick. Some of these extra fees at other schools may include student activity fees, registration fees, parking fees, mailing costs, and others. Luther Rice charges only one course related fee, a $155 technology fee per course.
Also, be sure to confirm part-time vs. full-time tuition rates at other schools. Often, part-time rates are higher. Many Luther Rice students fall into a part-time status given their other life responsibilities. Luther Rice does not charge a higher tuition rate for part-time students. Full-time status is 4 or more classes a semester (undergraduate) or 3 or more classes a semester (graduate).
