I wouldn't say it is by and far the most expensive, it is approximately $1,000 more than Tabor which I as a homeless kid at the time attended and graduated from. My daughter attended Southwestern in Winfield, graduated, and their total costs per year are around $26,000 per year, actually more than what is listed for Baker. Bottom line she also graduated from there. The NAIA gets a bad rap because of the costs, yet there are ways for kids to attend these schools and graduate. I will also state, the quality of education, as presented by various research groups is second to none. Personally, the education offered through an NAIA school is worth the cost, and when taking advantage of the various options provided, very possible.
