The cost

                                

              
The simple fact above is something that we emphasize every chance we get. A quality education in terms of price is now within reach of just about anyone, and the accreditation that backs our recommended degrees are the same as any public college or university.

If you've checked into the cost for higher education recently, it probably has you worried.  No wonder.  Research shows that in the past twenty years tuition and fees for colleges and universities of all academic standings, public or private, have skyrocketed.  Take a look at the trends in college pricing which is based on the College Board's 2011-2012 Annual Survey of Colleges.
 
                                  The CollegeBuilder Coaching Fee    

•  $1800 initial enrollment fee (all CollegeBuilder costs included for one year)
•  Payment Plan Option ($1800 + $75 processing fee)

Payment Plan Option
CollegeBuilder offers an interest-free payment plan option for our annual tuition fee. There is a down payment of 40% of the initial enrollment fee ($720) plus a $75 processing fee. The client is then billed $120 per month for the remaining balance (9 months).

This cost is for one full year of CollegeBuilder's coaching services.  Most students will need at least an additional six months of coaching and CollegeBuilder offers rate reductions for re-enrolling students.
The coaching fee covers:

• Individualized Student Evaluation (preliminary eval. to acquire information about student strengths)
• Degree Template Creation (coaches collaborate with students to form a Credit Acquisition Plan) 
• Customized Academic Planning (personalized scheduling plan that parallels students degree template)
• Structured Accountability (we arrange regular status calls to ensure student is meeting objectives)
• Mentorship in Effective Study (encourage and direct students toward consistent study techniques)
• Advice on what subject matters to avoid (we help the student avoid questionable content from a biblical perspective)
