About This School
Elim Bible Institute and College is a private nonprofit institution located in Lima, New York with approximately 100 undergraduate students enrolled. Elim Bible Institute and College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 100%. The average net price after financial aid is $8,840 per year. The graduation rate is 67%.
This tiny Pentecostal college — just 94 students — offers a surprisingly affordable path into ministry-focused education, with an average net price of only $9,641/year and median graduation debt of $9,241, which is genuinely low by any standard. The 100% freshman retention rate suggests students who enroll feel at home and stay committed, and the 70% graduation rate is reasonable for a school of this type. Worth considering if you're specifically pursuing charismatic Christian ministry training and want a tight-knit community on a tight budget — but if you're undecided on that calling, the limited academic breadth here will likely feel constraining.
