What is the cost of studying for a year at Southwestern Christian College?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $12,587, with $2,051 in required fees, for $14,638 before housing and meals. The reported tuition and fee amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. These are published charges, not an individual financial-aid offer.

  • Full-time tuition and required fees: $14,638 for the academic year.
  • Typical room charge: $3,276 for the academic year.
  • Typical board charge: $3,766 for the academic year.
  • Combined tuition, required fees, room, and board: $21,680 before books, transportation, and personal expenses.

The combined figure assumes the listed room and board charges apply to the student; it is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $570 per credit hour. Financial aid can change what a student pays, but grants, loans, and work earnings have different conditions. For families with annual income of $0-$48,000, the reported average net price was $17,760. A net price is an average after grant aid, not a guaranteed bill or an estimate tailored to one applicant.

Financial aid may include eligible federal and state grants, institutional assistance, and federal student loans. Reported figures indicate that all students in the measured aid group received some form of financial aid and that 52% had student loans. Applicants should complete the FAFSA and obtain an individualized aid offer before comparing Southwestern Christian College with other options. Military-affiliated students should also confirm which education benefits the college can certify.

What are the work-study opportunities at Southwestern Christian College?

Students should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary part-time job. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program for eligible students, and an award does not by itself guarantee a position or provide the full award as an upfront tuition payment.

The availability of Federal Work-Study positions or a separate campus employment program at Southwestern Christian College should be confirmed with its financial aid office. Students can ask whether jobs are available, how to apply, how many hours are typical, and whether earnings are paid through regular wages. Career counseling is a separate service: the college reports group career counseling for undergraduates, but students seeking résumé reviews, internship referrals, or employer events should verify which services are currently offered.
