Cost Overview

Most families pay around $27,653 annually at this Christian university, well below the $50,888 sticker price. Net costs vary dramatically by income, ranging from $26,641 for families earning under $30,000 to $35,778 for those making $75,000-$110,000. Over four years, expect to pay roughly $110,000 to $143,000 depending on your family's finances.

Hope keeps debt manageable compared to many private colleges. Graduates carry a median debt of $23,000, translating to monthly payments of $244. With median earnings hitting $49,697 ten years out, that payment represents about 6% of gross income. The 54% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle initially, but the 92.6% employment rate shows most find work.

Lower-income students get the best financial deal here. Families earning under $48,000 pay less than wealthier families, thanks to need-based aid that makes this Christian education surprisingly accessible.
