Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
Chatt state isn't very expensive. The best thing about the school is when you take more than 12 hours in classes they only charge you for the 12 hours instead of say 15 (unlike other colleges where they include extra fees for taking more than a certain amount to be a full time student).
Megan from Manchester, TN
At Chattanooga State you definitely get the most bang for your buck! It is inexpensive, but yet there are so many more things you can take away from you college experience besides just academics.
Bethany from Dalton, GA
VERY inexpensive. I am very poor, but I am able to make it at Chattanooga State just fine. Financial aid supplements my living while I finish my associates. Great deal, and quality education.
Erinn from Chattanooga, TN
