Cost Overview

Most families at College of Biblical Studies pay far less than the $7,475 sticker price. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay around $13,437 annually after aid, while those from $75,000-plus households pay $18,415. Over four years, total costs range from roughly $54,000 to $74,000. Nearly 79% of students receive financial aid, though the college offers minimal institutional grants.

Graduates carry a median debt of $25,570, translating to monthly payments of $271. With median earnings hitting $39,260 ten years out, that payment represents about 8% of gross income. However, only 39% of borrowers successfully repay their loans on schedule. The employment rate reaches 82%, though many graduates enter ministry roles with modest salaries.

Students from lower-income families get the best financial deal here, with net prices actually lower than many community colleges when factoring in the college's focus on affordable biblical education.
