Central Christian
College of the Bible
Private College in Moberly, MO. Six-year graduation rate 23%. Median 10-year earnings $34,675.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $34,675, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. The six-year graduation rate is 23% — low enough that finishing cannot be treated as the default outcome. Debt at graduation runs to a median of $17,500, neither a bargain nor a burden.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

- ! Graduation rate 23% — below national average
Academics
Only 23% finish within six years, so roughly three in four students leave without the credential. 69% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. A 10:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 139 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $14,918 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Income makes less difference than usual: $10,548 at $0–30k, $16,886 at $110k+. 92% of students get grant aid averaging $7,979, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. About 44% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $10,548 |
| $30–48k | $14,075 |
| $48–75k | $13,446 |
