Tuition Cost and Fees
Most of our students attend free, although we ask if you can afford it to make a donation when you can. MBC provides a quality, demanding education equivalent to schools costing thousands per term who charge extra online fees up to a hundred dollars or more per class. (All costs listed must be paid in U. S. dollars through our Donate link through PayPal with a PayPal or standard credit card account.)
Tuition:
Below indicates cost per semester hour accorded by total annual household income in US$. Total household income includes student's income plus that of spouse and/or parents if living in same household. U.S. Students may be required periodically to show proof of income if they are paying a lower tuition. If a student falsely reports their income, they could be billed for the difference, and, if failing to compensate, receive administrative suspension and/or be expelled from MBC due to failing the honor code - without refund. To ensure you are earning your low tuition, you may receive academic suspension from McDowell Bible College if your GPA drops below 2.0 undergrad or 2.5 master's for two consecutive terms. To waive suspension, you will need to pay full tuition (at $75,000 and up rate) for the next term(s) until you achieve the required GPA. A letter from church leadership about your position is needed to receive a pastor scholarship if making less than $30,000 per year.
Based on total annual household salary listed per semester hour (usually 3 hours for each course, i.e., one 3 semester hour course would cost $15 for an undergraduate U.S. student with a total household income of $25,000.)

• Online Fees → FREE (Other schools charge as much as $100 per course)
• Graduation fee:
U.S. Students first class mail: $25*
Foreign Students priority mail: $50*
* Includes only the diploma mailed to student. Those foreign students overseas must have it sent priority to help ensure delivery. We will not resend transcripts that fail to be delivered, you will need to pay the fee once again for redelivery. However, priority mail is the safest possible delivery method. Beginning with COVID-19, and due to so few U.S. graduating students, and the inability for graduating students overseas to get a visa to attend, we have discontinued on-site graduation ceremonies until there are sufficient U. S. participants to hold a formal ceremony.
• Late registration fee: $10 per course.* Registration is late if the student has not registered a course before the first day of class. MBC classes now start weeks on a Sunday and end on a Saturday.
• Official transcript fee:
U.S. Students/first class mail: $25*
Foreign Students/priority mail: $50*
* Those foreign students overseas must have it sent priority to help ensure delivery. We will not resend transcripts that fail to be delivered, you will need to pay the fee once again for redelivery. However, priority mail is the safest possible delivery method. All unofficial online transcripts are free. (Student accounts must be paid up.)
• Late payment fee on payment plan → $25 per month.

• Books, computer, software, fees and internet requirements are the student's responsibility. Failure to purchase books and other requirements is no excuse and will impact your grade unless you withdraw, though many courses may provide online study documents free, a few courses, especially graduate courses, will require you to purchase the course textbook(s) and many of our students prefer hardcopy books to E-Books. All books should be available at Amazon.com.
