College of Biblical Studies-Houston

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

For the IPEDS 2024-25 cost reporting, College of Biblical Studies-Houston listed $9,000 in full-time undergraduate tuition and $275 in required fees for both Texas residents and out-of-state students. Together, those reported charges total $9,275 before other educational and living expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $9,000.
• Required undergraduate fees: $275.
• Part-time undergraduate tuition: $375 per credit hour.

Those figures are not a complete annual cost of attendance. A personal budget may also need to cover books, transportation, housing, food, and other expenses. Because the college does not operate undergraduate housing, living costs will depend heavily on a student's arrangements in Houston. Students should use a current bill and financial aid offer to calculate their own expected cost rather than combine charges published for different years.

Financial aid can change the amount a student pays. In the reported aid figures, all students in the measured group received some form of aid, and 22% took student loans. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $6,275. These are group-level figures, not an individual award estimate; grant eligibility, scholarship rules, enrollment level, and borrowing decisions vary. Applicants should complete the required aid application and ask the financial aid office which federal, state, institutional, or military benefits apply to their program.

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

College of Biblical Studies-Houston reports individual career counseling and job-placement assistance for undergraduates, along with a job bank and access to on-campus employer recruitment. It also reports an internship requirement for students, making it important to understand how a placement fits the chosen degree.

An internship is not necessarily a paid job, and career assistance is not a guarantee of employment. Students should ask their program who approves placements, how many hours are required, and whether the college helps identify suitable sites. For job searching, the relevant questions are how to access the job bank and whether counseling includes support tailored to ministry, nonprofit, or other intended work.

Federal Work-Study, when awarded, differs from both an internship and an ordinary part-time job: it is need-based aid earned through eligible employment. Students interested in that option should ask the financial aid office whether they qualify and whether positions are available before counting on work-study wages in a budget.
