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
I would not choose any other school to go to, even if it were cheaper. Almost every class feels well worth it. Coastal isn't perfect, but it is close.
Caroline
The advisement staff at CCU is nothing shy of stellar. They advise over a thousand students, but do their absolute best to get to know you on a personal level. You will feel really comfortable with the advisors at CCU, they try to do their job with one goal in mind to allow you to get your degree earlier or definately on time.
Davon from Charleston, SC
Coastal Carolina is a very expensive school if your coming out of state, but it is worth it. The education and experience you receive is great.
Demarko from Goose Creek, SC
Coastal is great for the price, I am a Computer Science major and there is always something going one for us. We have independent and group personal projects pretty much all year round.
Charles from Sanford, NC
