Melbourne MDiv
From time to time I think about trying to transfer overseas with FedEx, e.g. to the UK or Australia - and between the two, Australia seems smarter given the cost of living and current exchange rate. Today, with this in my mind, I looked up the Anglican theological colleges in Australia and ran across this:
The Melbourne College of Divinity, in a joint program of Trinity College Theological School, University of Melboune and the United Faculty of Theology, offers an online Master of Divinity degree. A total of 270 points (18 semester units) is required for the degree, and the Graduate Coursework fee for 2007 is $850 per 15-point semester units.
Double-check my math:
270 points / 15-point semester units = 18 semester units
18 semester units at $850/unit = $15,300 AUD
According to XE.com, $15,300 AUD = under $12,000 USD
This has to be the cheapest reputable MDiv program I've seen.
Updated May 31, 2008: 18 semester units at $936/unit = $16,848 AUD = $16,091 USD
Updated Sep 16, 2008: 18 semester units at $936/unit = $16,848 AUD = $13,389 USD
Updated Sep 11, 2009: 18 semester units at $936/unit = $16,848 AUD = $14,558 USD
Updated Mar 17, 2010: 18 semester units at $1,188/unit = $21,384 AUD = $19,726 USD
Updated May 4, 2015:
The Melbourne College of Divinity is now the University of Divinity. (Apologies for all of the broken links above as a result.) The University of Divinity / University of Melbourne's Trinity College still offers the MDiv online, but there are now different fees for overseas students:
Total overseas MDiv cost is currently $38,376 AUD = $30,078 USD.
