Our admissions team is ready to walk with you and your student through each step of the admissions process. Our admissions requirements are simple, and we’ve designed our application to be quick and easy.
We accept applications on a rolling basis, but recommend undergraduate students apply in the fall of their senior year of high school. Applying early gives students and families time to make a final college choice that they feel confident about, as well as helping ensure that they can take advantage of the best scholarship and grant opportunities, many of which are first-come, first-served.
We understand that a college education is a significant investment. However, a private college education may be more affordable for your student than you think. It’s important to remember that the “sticker price” is not the final price. In fact, private universities typically offer more institutional scholarships and grants than public universities, narrowing the price gap considerably.
It’s also worth noting that graduation rates matter. At Corban, 88% of our students earn their degree in four years or less (compared to 60% at public colleges.) That means only paying for four years of tuition, instead of five or six, and starting a career sooner.
Our tuition and aid page is a great resource to help you walk through the financial side of a Corban education and learn more about costs and the options available to make Corban an affordable opportunity for your student.
