Our next cohort begins in fall 2025. To apply, complete the application by April 30, 2025 and we will follow up to explore together. If the discernment advances, we will try to arrange a site visit here at Underground Seminary. Some helpful information & advice for those interested:
Underground Seminary is a two-year core curriculum program for candidates of all three degree programs, with an additional third year for Doctor of Ministry students to work on a thesis project. The school year runs from September-May, with possible summer activities for those interested.
Total degree program cost is $24,000 for a single residential student with room and board in one of our community houses. Payment of $6,000 should be made on Aug. 15 and Jan. 15, and repeated in the second year. Another payment option is $1,180 for 21 continuous months, including the cost of housing (but not board) over the first summer when class is not in session.
Total degree program cost is $16,000 for a single student without housing but some meals. Payment of $4,000 should be made on Aug. 15 and Jan. 15, and repeated in the second year. Another payment option is $800 for 21 continuous months.
Contact us for other arrangements. Some need-based scholarships may be available.
Work to have as little debt as possible by enrollment. Either begin saving to meet these expenses or plan to work approximately 20-25 hours per week while a student. We want students to graduate with no extra debt incurred.
Stay tuned for books that we will recommend for pre-reading.
Visit Church of All Nations if in the Twin Cities area. Consider attending regularly to get to know the seminary leaders and community life ethos.
