Cost Overview

Despite a sticker price near $50,000, most Houston Christian families pay far less. Net costs range from $17,020 for middle-income families to $27,103 for high earners. Over four years, that's $68,000 to $108,000 total. More than half of students receive federal aid, with Pell Grant recipients making up 54% of enrollment.

Graduates typically leave with $22,642 in debt, translating to $240 monthly payments. That's manageable against median earnings of $55,933 ten years out. The university awards institutional grants averaging $26,908 to about 27% of students. Houston Christian serves a diverse student body where nearly 40% are Hispanic and 24% are Black.

Middle-income Texas families get the strongest value here. In-state students represent 95% of enrollment, and those earning $30,000-$48,000 annually pay the lowest net price at just over $17,000.
