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.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

What Students Are Saying

Hopefully I get scholarships that way it can pay for my college. I did work but for right now I have to focus on school which obviously its way more important.
Sendy from Toppenish, WA
I'm from california and out of state tution isn't that much. Out of state tution is almost the same tution as california community college!!!
Veronica from Big Bear Lake, CA
Admission was not expensive. There was a $29 application fee. Then you have to take a placement test called the COMPASS test, which has a $50 fee. The cost of attending CBC is more affordable than a university. It costs around $1000 per quarter, depending on how many credits you take. I am able to drive there from home and not have to pay additional housing costs.
Mitchell from Kennewick, WA
Cheap tuition. Great place to start out. I can afford to pay for my own tuition myself.
Katie from Pasco, WA
Very inexpensive compared to university tuition fees with the same education.
Cheyenne from Kennewick, WA
Compared to universities the price of tuition at Columbia Basin College is awesome.
Jorge from Pasco, WA
I really am glad I decided to return to school after all these years. The only problem I am having is paying for this summer quarter. My financial aid didn't come through for this quarter, so I may have to postpone finishing up my AA another quarter.
Jill from Pasco, WA
