Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

Covenant College’s status of private and not-for-profit means that the tuition for both state residents and out-of-state students is the same, which is $35,640. One hundred percent of students utilize student aid packages to help lower the cost of tuition so that the average net price is only $24,619. Keep in mind that another $13,000 or more will be required for books, room and board, supplies, and other costs.

A full-tuition scholarship is available called the Maclellan Scholars Program. The scholarship also offers $2,000 to be used for intercultural study and an internship is an essential requirement. Additional scholarships and work experiences are available to minimize the overall costs of education at Covenant. But don’t forget to budget for additional monthly expenses, such as trips to Chattanooga, dinners out with friends, streaming services, and more.

Academics

---

One of the primary philosophies and practices of the college is to teach students to successfully integrate learning and faith. The degree programs available to do so exist in a variety of fields including business, science, history, IT, music, engineering, political science, international studies, and others. Students can also pursue pre-law, pre-nursing, pre-med, and pre-physical therapy. A number of certificate programs are available such as arts administration, entrepreneurship, medical ethics consultation, neuroscience, TESOL, and environmental stewardship and sustainability.

It is also possible to focus on a more global education, including study abroad programs and intercultural experiences. Local options also exist to establish greater ties to the community. Students will also learn interpersonal skills, spiritual capabilities, intellectual ethics, innovation and creativity, and much more.

The Covenant student population has a solid 86% retention rate and graduation rates on the low end at 59% and 65% for four-year and six-year rates, respectively. A faculty-to-student ratio of 1 to 13 helps to provide greater academic experiences to those who do stay and graduate. The lower graduation rates may be due to a higher transfer rate or the fact some students work while they complete their degrees.
