Cost of Attendance (Online Students)
Students are at the heart of all that we do at California Baptist University, which is why we have chosen to hold the line with tuition costs as much as possible despite its steady increase at many colleges and universities around the country. By keeping tuition costs reasonable and connecting students with financial aid opportunities, more students can access the tailored and purpose-driven education CBU offers.
