What type of institution is Calvary University?

What is the acceptance rate at Calvary University?

The most recently reported acceptance rate at Calvary University is approximately 72% (IPEDS, applicants for fall 2024). Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality. CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.

What is the tuition at Calvary University?

Calvary University's published in-state tuition is approximately $14,094 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.

How many students attend Calvary University?

Calvary University reports total enrollment of approximately 244 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.

How much does Calvary University actually cost after financial aid?

The average net price at Calvary University is approximately $16,334 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $9,571 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $13,749. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.

What is the graduation rate at Calvary University?

Calvary University reports a graduation rate of approximately 52% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.

How much student debt do graduates of Calvary University have?

Students who borrowed at Calvary University left with a median of approximately $20,839 in federal loans, and about 24% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.

How much do graduates of Calvary University earn?

Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $45,421 for students who received federal financial aid at Calvary University. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.

How should I verify final details about Calvary University?

CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Calvary University.

Does Calvary University get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?

Yes. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Calvary University is flagged "lower earnings": its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $34,043, below the $34,635 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 nationally. First-year students who list it see a notice after submitting the FAFSA. The notice is informational and does not affect financial aid eligibility, and it describes the whole institution, not any one program. It was not flagged in the December 2025 release and is flagged in the March 2026 release, which is the one FAFSA filers see now.
