Cost Overview

Most families pay far more than the $11,200 sticker price at this tiny Christian college. The average net cost hits $18,541 annually, meaning a four-year degree costs about $74,000. Lower-income families earning under $30,000 pay around $17,000 per year, while middle-class families making $48,000-$75,000 face $21,566 annually.

The financial picture gets concerning after graduation. With median earnings of just $29,463 ten years out and a federal loan rate of 100%, graduates typically struggle with debt payments. Only 34% successfully repay their loans on schedule. Most students qualify for Pell Grants since 84% receive financial aid, but the college offers limited institutional aid to just 15% of students.

Students from very low-income families get the best deal here, paying the least while accessing the same ministry-focused education that draws students from across the country.
