Graduate Studies

Yes! Every degree you see offered fully online will also be offered on campus—either during fall or spring semesters and/or during one- or two-week modules/sessions on campus. You can mix online and on-campus study however you like! Friendly, knowledgeable advisors can help you figure out the plan that works best for your schedule and your goals.

For both online and on-campus classes, the tuition cost is $402.60 per credit hour, but your total cost depends on the number of credits your degree requires. See tuition and fees for more information.

An affordable option available to you is the Graduate Assistant Scholarship. Through this program, students enter a 2- or 3-year contract to work for PCC while earning their degree and can graduate debt-free.

Online classes have three start dates (fall, spring, summer).

On-campus classes have two start dates (fall, spring).

Additionally, PTS offers on-campus one-week modules in January, May, and August.

Graduate and seminary courses are also available on-campus during summer sessions lasting two weeks.

You must have a bachelor’s degree in order to be accepted into our graduate or seminary programs. A minimum 2.50 cumulative GPA is required to be accepted as a master’s student (2.00 for M.Div. and M.Min.). A minimum 3.00 cumulative master’s GPA is required for specialist and doctoral degrees. Specific degree programs may include additional admission requirements.

You’ll get the exact same instruction whether you study on campus or online. With online classes, you’ll watch recorded lectures and complete projects and tests just like on-campus students. The only difference is that, you’ll have the freedom of learning wherever and whenever it works for you.

The amount of time required to complete a degree varies depending on the degree.

On campus: You’ll probably take 6 to 15 credits each semester. The maximum load is 16 credits per term.

Online: If you take two classes each term, you can finish your degree in 2–7 years.
