Rosedale Bible College has worked diligently to keep tuition and fees at an affordable level. Generous contributions from alumni, friends of the school, and the churches of Conservative Mennonite Conference have helped to keep tuition and fees for a year at Rosedale at just over $14,000.

This level of cost is a real value in the current educational market. According to a 2005 College Board survey, tuition at RBC is less than 1/4 the average cost of four-year private colleges in America. We have also found that the total cost of attending many Christian four–year colleges is two or three times the amount you will spend at RBC.

The following table is an approximation of the costs to students who attend RBC for the full 2011–2012 academic year. Some cost components will vary significantly for each student.

RBC Costs for 2011—12 Academic Year
