2024-2025 Undergraduate Academic Catalog

Tuition and Fees

Because Tuition and Fees can change during the year, students should refer to BMCU Tuition and Fees on the BMCU Website each semester for accurate amounts.

Blue Mountain Christian University is a university supported by the Mississippi Baptist Convention. Payments by students of tuition and fees amount to approximately forty percent (40%) of the University's total operating costs. For the remainder of its operating needs, the University depends primarily on the generous support of its alumnae/alumni, friends, and the Mississippi Baptist Convention through the Cooperative Program. In effect, this added support makes it possible to keep tuition costs considerably below the national average for independent colleges and universities. Every possible effort is made to avoid tuition increases, but fluctuating economic conditions make it necessary for the University to reserve the right to revise its fee charges at the beginning of any semester without notice.
