Cost Overview

Families typically pay $12,904 per year after financial aid, making this one of the more affordable Christian colleges. The net price drops to $10,720 for families earning under $30,000 but climbs to $20,491 for those making over $110,000. Over four years, students can expect to pay roughly $52,000 total.

Most graduates leave with $15,750 in debt, translating to $167 monthly payments. That debt load remains manageable against median earnings of $42,631 ten years after graduation. The college targets Plymouth Brethren families seeking biblical education without the crushing debt of larger Christian universities.

Low-income students get the strongest value proposition here. Families earning under $48,000 pay less than $11,000 annually, while 40% of students receive Pell Grants. Students from wealthy families pay nearly double what their lower-income peers do.
