EC Online

Atlanta School of Ministry Internship

Tuition and Fees

Our goal is to see you succeed! Because of EC’s commitment to students, price is no longer the deciding factor. Our deep scholarships (made possible by generous donors) make a private, Christ-centered education more accessible than ever! And you can attend EC Online while interning at the Atlanta School of Ministry.

The first step is to fill out our brief application and a student services representative will walk you through the remaining steps toward earning your degree through EC Online! For more information on applying for financial aid please see our Financial Aid Guide.

All students accepted into the EC Online Internship at ASOM receive the ASOM Ministry Scholarship!

EC’s normal tuition rate of $500 per credit hour is brought down significantly with this scholarship. If a student enrolls full time with EC Online without a scholarship, the tuition cost would come to $12,000 yearly (24 credit hours) or $6,000 per semester (12 credit hours). However, the cost of tuition comes down to $6,524 yearly ($3,262 per semester) after the ASOM Ministry Scholarship is applied. This totals just $272 per credit hour ($816 for a 3 credit hour course). For a detailed tuition schedule please see the table below.
