Cost Overview
Arkansas Baptist College charges the same $8,760 tuition whether you're from Arkansas or Alaska. The reality is most families pay far less. Students from households earning under $30,000 pay just $8,700 after aid, while those from families making over $110,000 pay around $20,431. That puts the four-year total between $35,000 and $82,000 depending on your family's income.
Nearly half of students receive Pell Grants, and 31% get institutional aid averaging $15,560. The median graduate leaves with $25,375 in debt, creating monthly payments of $269. With median earnings of $28,418 ten years out, that debt payment consumes about 11% of gross income. Only 25% of borrowers are successfully paying down their loans.
Low-income students get the strongest value proposition here, paying roughly half what wealthier families contribute for the same HBCU education and Christian community.
