Mid-South Christian College tuition
Published undergraduate tuition $10,500
Finding Mid-South Christian College charges about 0.4× the national private non-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $10,500. That is about 0.4× the national private non-profit median ($29,325). Versus the Tennessee median ($15,120), sticker tuition is 31% below. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is 12% below.
Method Sticker tuition compared with Scorecard-derived medians by ownership, state, locale, and national rollups when available.
