How Much Does Bible College Cost?

(Updated for Fall 2025)

When students and families ask about cost, we believe they deserve a clear answer. At Calvary Chapel Bible College, we’re committed to keeping that answer simple, honest, and hopeful.

Bible college is an investment of both time and money. But we believe you shouldn’t have to take on massive debt to follow God’s call. That’s why we’re committed to making CCBC affordable for every student in every season of life.

At CCBC, you can get grounded in Scripture, not buried by debt.

Our Commitment to Affordability

One of the ways we protect students financially is through our Tuition Guarantee. When you enroll and stay continuously enrolled, your tuition rate will never increase. You’ll finish your degree on the same financial terms you started with, no surprises.

We also structure our tuition so students can pay as they go—one semester at a time. Whether you’re on campus or online, you’ll never be asked to pay for an entire degree upfront.

We’re committed to making it possible for you to build your biblical foundation without carrying a financial burden into your future.

How Much Does It Cost to Earn a Degree at CCBC?

Let’s look at the big picture. Here is how much it costs to graduate from Calvary Chapel Bible College:

Associate in Biblical Studies (2 years)

On-Campus Total: less than $31,000
Online Total: less than $13,000

Bachelor in Biblical Studies (4 years)

On-Campus Total: less than $62,000
Online Total: less than $26,000

To put that in perspective: at many private universities, that cost would barely get you through your first year—tuition, housing, and meals included. At CCBC, it covers your entire degree!

At CCBC, you can earn a full undergraduate degree in biblical studies, form lifelong friendships, and grow in your calling for a fraction of the typical cost.

Funded by recurring alumni gifts, this scholarship is awarded to students who exemplify CCBC’s values and are nominated by an alumnus.

We believe that if God is calling you, He will make a way—and we want to do our part to help.

At CCBC, we aren’t just preparing students for ministry—we’re preparing them for life with God. Our goal is to make biblical education accessible for anyone who is ready to grow.

Whether you’re studying in Florida, from your home church, or from across the world, you’re receiving the same biblical foundation and spiritual formation, without the crushing price tag of most private universities.
