Central Christian College of the Bible tuition
Published undergraduate tuition $12,200
Finding Central Christian College of the Bible charges about 0.4× the national private non-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $12,200. That is about 0.4× the national private non-profit median ($29,325). Versus the Missouri median ($14,822), sticker tuition is 18% below. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is 3% above.
Method Sticker tuition compared with Scorecard-derived medians by ownership, state, locale, and national rollups when available.

What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at Central Christian College of the Bible is $14,356.

Method Average net price from College Scorecard; compared with state, locale, and U.S. medians from EDsmart aggregates.
