About This School

Appalachian Bible College is a private nonprofit institution located in Mount Hope, West Virginia with approximately 168 undergraduate students enrolled. Appalachian Bible College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 99%. The average net price after financial aid is $17,401 per year. The graduation rate is 76%, and the typical graduate earns $33,200 within 10 years of enrollment.

Appalachian Bible College is a private Bible college in Mount Hope, West Virginia. While unaffiliated with any particular denomination, it generally serves independent churches within the fundamental Bible and Baptist associations.

Worth considering if you're committed to a faith-centered Bible education on a tight budget — median debt at graduation is just $6,767, which is remarkably low. That said, the nearly open admissions and small 168-person student body signal a very specific, insular environment, and the $33,200 median earnings a decade out is modest, so this makes the most sense as a calling-driven choice rather than a career-earnings investment.
