Make the most of your time and money.
How much will it cost?
The current tuition rate ranges from $505 per unit for many master's degree programs to $875 per unit for PhD programs, but institutional and donor-funded scholarships reduce the cost for most students. We know that cost is an important consideration, but so is value-how well a program prepares you for the work to which you are called. A degree program that provides relevant credentials but also shapes your mind in important new directions is worth the investment in both time and money.
How long will it take?
Most master's degrees are completed in roughly 2 to 3 years, and doctoral programs can take from 3 to 6 years. Your pace may be flexible depending on your work, family, and life commitments. You'll be able to put your learning into practice as you go. Your ministry will provide context for your studies, and your studies will shape the way you serve and lead the people God has entrusted to your care.

In Our Graduates' Own Words
Friends said, 'You'll learn things [at Fuller] you may not agree with, but you still gotta wade through it and not be scared of the slippery slope.' For the way I want to learn and teach, Fuller helped me feel free to do that.
Fuller taught me to be disciplined, to create structures, and to promote leadership training. It equipped me with everything necessary for integral mission.
As I'm living my life in loving connection to God, I'll live my life in loving connection to others.
I want to help our church be healthy, effective, virtuous, impactful, and sustainable.
I want to bring empathy into this space, and to help people who want to be part of a Christian community again but are carrying baggage or trauma of some sort.
