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
Potomac State College is not very expensive and the campus offers different programs to help the students in and outside of class. For example, Potomac State offers free tutoring, free Internet use, and professors will meet with students after class if the student needs more help. Also, there are sports teams and spirit teams for those sports teams. PSC is worth every penny.
Ashley from Berkeley Springs, WV
Don't really know what that means but it's hard being a fulltime student with no job.
Trina from South Bend, IN
Out of state tuition really is not expensive whatsoever. All in all it is a great deal money-wise.
