Tuition fees are for annual costs based on full time enrolment. Students pay tuition and fees directly to Presbyterian College and McGill fees directly to McGill.
At The Presbyterian College, we know that student debt is a major concern. Therefore, the College keeps fees as affordable as possible while also making bursaries and scholarships available. Quebec offers some of the lowest tuition in Canada and yet provides excellent educational opportunities for students.
International students will find that our rates are some of the most competitive in North America. All students who are enrolled in McGill programs as affiliated students (BTh, STM) pay their tuition to The Presbyterian College, rather than to the university.

Presbyterian College reserves the right to make annual changes to tuition fees or other fees, communicated as early as possible to students. (Annual increases are usually in the range of 2-5%.)

NOTES:
For Quebec students, the tuition fees for MDiv 1 and MDiv 2 are higher than for the BTh program (when enrolment is in the same classes). This is due to higher program costs for the M.Div. degree, and these higher program costs are distributed across the three years of the program. Thus the difference in posted tuition fees for Quebec students (between the B.Th. and the M.Div.) represents the additional program costs of the M.Div. program.
