Calvary University is a private Christian university in Kansas City, Missouri, United States. In 2019, total enrollment was 430, with undergraduate enrollment of 348 and graduate enrollment of 82.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the affordable net price of $12,860/year and low median debt of $12,500 make this one of the more financially accessible Bible-focused colleges you'll find, but a 53% graduation rate and 62% freshman retention rate suggest that nearly half of students who start here don't finish — worth asking hard questions about why. If you're committed to a small, faith-centered environment and have a clear plan to stay on track, this could work, but the $39,200 median earnings a decade out means you'll want to be realistic about career outcomes before enrolling.
