The “typical cost” of attending a Christian college can be difficult to determine because there is so much variety in the cost between universities. There is quite a spectrum when it comes to the cost of Christian colleges, with the low end being almost free, and the high end being well above $50,000.
A range that might be closer to typical would be between $5,000 and $30,000 for tuition a year. This does not bring into consideration financial aid and scholarships, just the ticket price for tuition. Certain states will have a higher range for what is typical than others. California, for example, will typically be on the higher end of the spectrum.
The same can be said for room and board. A range that could be called typical for many schools would be between $3,000 and $5,000 per semester. This will vary by school and by dorm situation. For example, rooms that are shared between three people are often cheaper than rooms that house one student. Again, this range will change based on state. States that are typically more expensive to live in will most likely have higher room and board rates as well.
Fees are very difficult to pin down. Each school will have different sort of fees and “financial considerations,” that make it very hard to find any kind of typical range. It will also depend on your living situation if you require frequent transportation. This could also change based on your major. Science majors often have to take many lab classes which generally have a fee attached to them.
With tuition and room and board, a possible range would be from $11,000 to $40,000 a year. This, again, is not set in stone or absolutely accurate for every state. Be sure to check for specifics in the state you are looking into for average tuition and room and board. If you are looking into specific colleges, ask the admissions department about tuition, fees, and room and board before making any commitments.
