2025 - 2026 TUITION AND FEES
Our 2025–2026 tuition and fee schedule reflects our commitment to providing affordable, high-quality education while faithfully stewarding the blessings entrusted to us. During this period, Lighthouse Theological Institute & Seminary continues the TRACS accreditation process, through which we aim to secure the ability to offer federal financial aid to our students. Accreditation will also expand our academic offerings, enabling us to provide not only degrees in religious studies but also general education degrees that will be recognized across the United States.

Payment Flexibility Statement
If the trimester payment amount is too high, we are happy to work with students to reduce their quarterly payments through an adjusted payment plan. Please note: Any reduction in trimester payments will result in a remaining balance that must be paid in full before the student is eligible for graduation, transcript release, or degree conferral.
