Cost Overview
With just 12 students and a 100% acceptance rate, Shasta Bible College operates more like a small seminary than a traditional college. The total cost runs $19,935 per year, making a four-year degree cost about $79,740. However, 54% of students receive Pell Grants, which typically means family incomes under $30,000. Only 8% get institutional aid, and those few receive an average of $12,286.
The low retention rate of 0% suggests many students don't return for a second year, which could save money but hurts degree completion. Graduates earn a median of $28,891 ten years later, which is quite low compared to the debt load. Students who take federal loans (about 21% do) will likely struggle with monthly payments given those earnings. The best deal goes to very low-income students who qualify for maximum Pell Grants and can avoid borrowing entirely.
