Carolina College of Biblical Studies

What is the cost of studying for a year at Carolina College of Biblical Studies?

For 2024-25, IPEDS reports annual full-time undergraduate tuition of $6,456 and required fees of $450 for both North Carolina and out-of-state students. Together, those published charges equal $6,906 before books, transportation, living expenses, or any aid. The reported part-time undergraduate tuition rate is $269 per credit.

For full-time graduate students, the reported tuition is $5,490 plus $450 in required fees; the reported part-time graduate rate is $305 per credit. These are figures for a different level of study, so applicants should not combine them with undergraduate charges to estimate one year's bill.

Published tuition is not a complete cost of attendance. Because the college does not provide undergraduate housing, students need a separate budget for where they will live, food, travel, books, and personal expenses. Actual charges can also depend on course load and program. An individualized aid offer and current tuition schedule are more useful for budgeting than subtracting an institution-wide average grant from the sticker price.

In 2024-25 financial-aid reporting, the average grant aid awarded to undergraduate recipients was $4,510. That average is not an award every applicant will receive. The college reported that 31% of students in the relevant aid measure used student loans; unlike grants, loans generally must be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Carolina College of Biblical Studies?

Federal Work-Study, if offered to an eligible student, is a form of need-based aid earned through a job - not a grant paid automatically against tuition. Eligibility generally begins with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, but an award and an available position are separate matters.

Students seeking paid work should ask the financial-aid office whether Federal Work-Study appears in their aid offer, what jobs are available, and how hiring works. Ordinary part-time employment may provide income even without a Work-Study award, but its hours and pay should not be counted as guaranteed financial aid. Applicants interested in ministry experience should likewise distinguish a paid student job from an unpaid placement or an internship carrying course credit.
