Manhattan Christian College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 100%. The average net price after financial aid is $23,608 per year.

Manhattan Christian College (MCC) is a private Christian college in Manhattan, Kansas, United States. It was founded in 1927 as Christian Workers University. The institution's name was changed to Manhattan Bible College in 1930 and Manhattan Christian College in 1971.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: the 55% graduation rate and 68% freshman retention suggest that a significant share of students don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. That said, the median debt at graduation is a relatively low $13,000, and if you're specifically called to ministry or Christian service — the school's entire identity — it can offer a tight-knit, mission-driven community of 132 students that a large university simply can't replicate. Just go in clear-eyed that median earnings of $38,800 a decade out reflect the ministry-focused career paths this school prepares you for, not a limitation to overlook.
