Investment in Your Future
Average net cost per year
$4,500
Anticipated typical cost for a student completing our 2 year Foundations Certificate. This comparison does not compare the cost of housing and meals. This factors in the income received while being an Immersive Studio craftsman and apprenticeships.
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 Annual Tuition: $12,000
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!
