Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

What Students Are Saying

LCU is expensive, and they just raised tuition this year by a lot. When it comes to getting the best value for your dollar i honestly do believe that attending Lubbock Christian University is the best thing to do. The help, accountability, and awesome atmosphere is most definitely the place to be.
Niko from Lubbock, TX
This is a private school so I don't expect it to be free, and yet I'm surprised at how competitively priced their tuition is. In comparison to other Chistian Universities, I find LCU to sometimes come in at half the price. When I compare LCU to big state schools, I'm also surprised that there's not a huge amount of difference in overal cost.
Jerrod from null, null
LCU is one of the least expensive private universities but what we do spend we can see it on campus. The LCU staff is always adding new things to campus to make it better. And the teachers are magnificent.
Laura from Watauga, TX
It's pricey, but it is worth it.
Lauren from Plainview, TX
I could really say that LCU is worth the money, but if you had it. I don't really have it so that's why I'm trying to apply for scholarships.
It's quite expensive, but the cheapest Christian school you'll find.
Amanda from Lubbock, TX
It's cheaper than ACU! You get a lot here for your money, and I'm happy with the education that I get here for the money that I spend. It is well worth it!
