Investment Comparison

Traditional 4-year colleges often cost $80,000-$120,000 or more. At Vertical Immersive, your max investment for two years, before apprenticeship earnings, tuition assistance or scholarships, is $24,000. With apprenticeship earnings, most if not all students can graduate debt-free while gaining invaluable work experience and spiritual foundation, and do it in half the time!

At Vertical Immersive, we believe in making biblical higher education accessible while providing real-world experience that pays. Our program is designed to minimize debt and maximize return on investment through hands-on apprenticeships. Due to our efficient semester scheduling all students are able to work up to 25 hours a week outside of their first year programming to completely offset their monthly tuition if desired. All of our students will also experience a lower net cost through needs based scholarships and/or studio work and apprenticeships.

Our Monthly Target Tuition Rate is $700

Additional expenses may include: required books for some classes, personal computer, housing, transportation, and food. The staff at Vertical Immersive can provide a list of nearby housing options for students, just ask!
