The average net price after financial aid is $28,599 per year. The graduation rate is 5%, and the typical graduate earns $38,000 within 10 years of enrollment.
Arlington Baptist University is a private Bible college in Arlington, Texas. It offers both undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
The numbers here are genuinely alarming: a 5% graduation rate and 44% freshman retention rate mean the vast majority of students who enroll never finish their degree, which is a serious red flag regardless of the school's mission. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a low $9,500, and the faith-based, small-community environment (just 268 students) may appeal to students seeking close-knit Christian education. Worth considering only if you have a very specific theological or ministry-focused reason to attend — and even then, visit, ask hard questions, and have a clear plan for completion.
