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 had a part-time job while I was at CCAC and one paycheck payed for one class. There is absolutely no financial stress and the education is just as good as a 4-year institution. I can even say it was better because the stress level was so low that I could concentrate on academics better and my grades sky-rocketed.

This is the reason that I attend a community college. Instead of paying 30,000 a year in a university and attending the same classes I am now I pay 80% less. Definitely a bang for the buck !
Stephanie from Pittsburgh, PA
for the price per credit there is no better place to start your college education or get a degree to advance your career.
Matthew from Pittsburgh, PA
Community colleges are much more less expensive than going to a public school. if you don't know what you want to major in, I would advise you to apply for a community college, to start taking general classes first, so you get a feel of what you might want to do. After that you can transfer to the college of your preferred choice
