As low as four payments of $325
for each course!
Course Payment Options
Redemption Seminary doesn’t require a monthly subscription. Instead, you only pay for courses as you take them. This allows you to have maximum control of your budget. Students are welcome to take breaks between courses without any costs during those breaks.
Students take courses at different paces. Some complete an entire course in eight weeks staying one week ahead of their mentor sessions. Others take several months to complete the whole course portfolio (workbook) and then review their work as they are graded in seven weekly mentor sessions.
Redemption offers three payment options each time a student registers for a course. The total amount for each plan is virtually the same (only rounded up to make the payments even amounts). The different options are provided to match how students want to pay for their courses. Students can choose one plan for their first course and then switch options for each successive course.
Pay Up Front Plan — the current course cost is $1,298
3-Month Plan — three monthly payments of $433
4-Month Plan — four monthly payments of $325
Taking four months to complete a course is not unusual and still equates to a solid pace to complete the program (3 courses per year). A minimal extension fee is charged to postpone mentoring if a student isn’t ready to start the mentoring for a course that they register for.
Non-graded Plans
If you aren’t interested in taking courses for credit, non-graded courses can be a more economical option. You can register for non-graded courses with two payment plan options. Non-graded courses include two months of access to all materials (similar to the preparation time for graded courses). Continued access is automatically covered through a $23.50 monthly extension fee that can be canceled at any time by requesting to end access to course content. The non-graded courses provide access to all the materials and services as a normal course (except mentoring and grading).
Non-Graded Pay Up Front Plan — $475
2-Month Plan — Two monthly payments of $238.

Master of Arts in Biblical Studies
Total cost only $13,547
Students register and pay for courses as their schedules and budgets allow. Students choose when they actively work on courses (at their own pace.) Students can take breaks between courses in their program without additional costs.
Redemption keeps the financial risk low. Students don’t take on financial debt to Redemption Seminary and can disenroll at any time without any remaining financial obligation.
All required materials and readings are included in course fees and tuition.
Students first pay an application fee to apply. Once they enroll, they take an onboarding course to train them in the tools they will use within the program.

Students who complete the certificate program are not eligible to receive the Redemption Custom Logos library as a gift. Students can continue to access the Redemption Custom Logos library after completing their certificate program in the following ways.
Students can obtain ownership of the library by continuing in the Master’s program and graduating.
If a student doesn’t wish to continue but would still like to keep the library they are eligible for special pricing for the package through Redemption Seminary and can contact the administration for specifics.
Non-Graded Courses
$475 Per Course
(or two payments of $238)
If you would like to enjoy the content of the master’s program (lectures, assignments, Logos library) without pursuing a degree or certificate, start taking non-graded courses.
Non-graded courses include full access to lectures, curriculum, and Redemption’s robust theological library. Non-graded courses do not include mentoring or credit.
You still have to apply to the seminary to acknowledge the statement of faith and code of conduct, but you don’t have to submit academic information.
How Redemption Provides Education at Such Low Prices
Redemption Seminary is accomplishing its mission to redefine the theological education sector with its innovative model that ensures a quality education at a reasonable price. We creatively consider every aspect of the educational experience to improve learning and spiritual growth more directly and efficiently. For example, we reduce costs by using recorded lectures and investing in personal mentoring. We also reduce expenses by not owning and maintaining a physical campus.
Every process in business carries an administrative cost to deliver. Redemption Seminary continually strives to make every process from applying to graduation simple and straightforward. This keeps its administrative overhead low. Redemption saves money by not having to run a bookstore or follow up with what books students have or don’t have for each class. Redemption Seminary simplifies things by providing everything for every class.
Because Redemption Seminary doesn’t have the obligations of a traditional school, it can offer tuition which is far less than traditional programs and includes far more (e.g., $23,500 software package, personal mentoring, etc.). This means you have the option to continue your education with additional degrees at your discretion.
