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.

There are SO many scholarships available that the school offers that it's almost foolish to not take advantage of any. Not to mention you'll be saving MEGA bucks by starting out at a Community College.

I am currently in my second semester of the surgical tech program and as a returning student I love this school!

The curriculum at MGCCC is challenging that teaches students many helpful things. This level of education is very worth the price and the amount tuition costs is very reasonable for an average student.

Cassey from Gauiter, MS
Gulf Coast football games are the best to be at. Great players and amazing fans. The football players love the band and can't get enough of us when we play in the stands and march during half time.
Raymone from Gulfport, MS
The tuition and fee are relatively inexpensive, That's why I choose this college. I could of went to any other school with my major. But the small class sizes and inexpensive tuition had me sold. Then the fact the there were dorms was another plus.
