I want to go to a Christian University
#11
College of the Ozarks, Point Lookout, MO. All students have part time jobs on campus, and graduate debt free. Very pro-liberty and Christian... Some have called it the "Hillsdale of the Hills." I believe they are affiliated with the Reformation Movement.

Campus is absolutely beautiful.

Charles Southern University is a Christian university with religion incorporated into every class.

That should say Charleston Southern University.

College of the Ozarks is an excellent Christian college but they do not offer online degrees. Their acceptance rate is below 15%. Berea College of Kentucky is also tuition free with a liberal perspective on Christianity. They don't offer online degrees either and their acceptance rate is over 30%. I would not expect either school to be flexible regarding transfer credit, but I have no direct knowledge. Both schools offer a safe, wholesome small town environment

Edit:
With their new transfer credit policy, Cornerstone University appears to be the fastest and least expensive regionally accredited degree from a Christian university. https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...pid=445329

I forgot to mention Columbia Southern in AL. Normally, I would hesitate to recommend a for-profit school but the feedback on this forum has been generally positive. They recently obtained regional accreditation.  

A number of supremely affordable, nationally accredited religious schools have been mentioned on this forum. If national accreditation meets your needs, you can save a significant amount of money. ABHE and TRACS are good places to start.

Kairos or Cornerstone would be my top choices for OP. However, for the masters, I would recommend either Kairos or Grace Theological Seminary for the price and the amount of time. Regionally accredited, private, non-profit schools are the gold standard I'd say for education.

Sterling College (Kansas) is Evangelical Christian and regionally accredited and deserves more attention for their online undergraduate tuition being only $175 per semester hour. They offer bachelor’s in
  • Business Administration
  • Christian Thought
  • Criminal Justice Administration
  • Education
  • History
  • Organizational Management
  • Sports Management

What an excellent find. They have a transfer friendly asynchronous degree in Organizational Management but I don't know if it is CBE.

The reason acceptance is low is because they heavily prioritize folks below the poverty line. Many folks apply who COULD otherwise afford to attend other schools and these folks often get turned away, in favor of folks who cannot pay for school. All students work on campus during their studies and graduate debt free. This is also why they have no online classes ... because students don't pay tuition in the traditional sense.
