About This School

San Diego Christian College is a private nonprofit institution located in Santee, California with approximately 91 undergraduate students enrolled. San Diego Christian College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 63%. In-state tuition is $26,300 per year. The graduation rate is 24%, and the typical graduate earns $42,500 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers here raise serious red flags: only 24% of students graduate, and the freshman retention rate of just 13% suggests most students leave after their first year — a signal worth taking seriously before enrolling. For those who do finish, median earnings of $42,500 a decade out are modest relative to the $24,941 in typical debt, leaving little financial cushion. This may appeal to students specifically seeking a small, faith-based Christian environment, but the outcomes data makes it hard to recommend without a very clear, personal reason why this school over others.
