Flexible Tuition Designed Around You
At Acadia Divinity College, we are committed to making theological education accessible, flexible, and transparent.
Tuition is charged on a per-credit-hour basis, which means:
- You have the freedom to build a course load that fits your ministry, work, family, and life commitments
- You only pay for the courses you take each semester – whether you’re studying full-time, part-time, online, or on-site
- You can plan confidently for your educational journey
Because every student’s program is unique, we have provided a calculator below to make it easy to find your cost and guaranteed financial support.
More details on tuition and fees are available in the Academic Calendar.
“Financial support has taken a weight off my mind and will allow me to graduate debt-free.”

Doctor of Ministry
Doctor of Ministry tuition is charged as a program fee rather than on a per-course basis.
The total program fee is billed in equal instalments over a standard four-year completion period using a trimester payment schedule (September, January, and May), with annual fee adjustments taking effect each Fall.
Students in the tuition payment phase of the program maintain the equivalent of full-time status.
Students who require more than four years to complete the degree will enter a continuance phase and be charged an annual continuance fee until all program requirements have been completed.

Audit Fees
Whether you’re exploring a new area of interest, refreshing your knowledge, or continuing your lifelong learning journey, auditing a course offers a flexible way to engage with graduate-level theological education.
Auditing students may participate in class discussions and learning activities, but are not required to complete assignments and do not receive academic credit.
