The University of Montana's published cost of attendance is $28,094. Net price by income band shows meaningful variation across family circumstances: low-income families pay approximately $17,255, middle-income families pay around $12,650, and higher-income families pay approximately $22,283. Azimuth ranks The Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences #572 for post-graduation affordability among nonprofit four-year institutions. Net prices by income band are medians within those bands; individual aid packages vary, so some families in each band pay more and some less than the figures shown. The University of Montana structures aid through federal (Pell Grants, Direct Loans), state, and institutional programs. Families apply using the FAFSA, and need-based aid forms the primary aid vehicle. The gap between published cost of attendance and net price reflects the institution's commitment to making a public university education accessible across income levels, though the affordability rank indicates that post-graduation debt service remains a meaningful consideration relative to peer institutions. Median federal student loan debt at graduation is $24,250, and families using Parent PLUS borrow a median of $18,623; private or institutional loans may add further borrowing that falls outside these federal-only figures — see the for how household context shapes PLUS decisions. For a graduate at the institution's median four-year earnings of $74,804, median federal debt of $24,250 projects to a monthly payment of about $274 under standard ten-year repayment.

How cost compares to graduate earnings and value added.
Graduates earn median 4-year earnings of $74,804, placing The Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences in the 74.9 percentile for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Graduates earn about $14,374 more than similar students at comparable institutions, placing The Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences in the 91.9 percentile for earnings beyond expectations among nonprofit four-year institutions. That figure runs above the $57,042 median at comparable institutions, and reflects the focused nature of a health-sciences college where most graduates move directly into clinical and allied-health roles. Even for graduates who enter lower-earning positions within the health sector, outcomes remain meaningfully above OH's no-degree-equivalent earnings baseline of $32,204 — the state median earnings of working adults age 25–34 with only a high school credential. Azimuth ranks The Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences #285 for return on investment among nonprofit four-year institutions — in the 80.9 percentile for return on investment among nonprofit four-year institutions. The program lineup at The Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences is tightly concentrated in the Health family, which defines both the institution's academic identity and its earnings profile. Nursing is the highest aggregate-return program, combining cohort scale with strong early-career pay in a field where employer demand is consistently high. Nursing is the largest program by graduate count, with 232 graduates earning median 4-year earnings of $74,797, and Azimuth ranks the program #208 nationally among nonprofit four-year institutions . Health Administration rounds out the institution's degree offerings, reinforcing the health-sciences concentration that gives The Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences its distinctive earnings signature. The narrow program mix means outcomes are relatively consistent across the student body — graduates enter a well-defined set of health-sector careers rather than the wide range of fields seen at broader institutions.
