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
Very worth the money you invest here.
Surry Student from Elkin,NC
This college is very inexpensive compared to all of the four year colleges and even to most other community colleges.
Matthew from Siloam, NC
Although tuition keeps rising everywhere, for the degree, classes, etc it's a great school! I definitely got all my moneys worth and more!
Brittany from Elkin, NC
I am a non-traditional adult learner enrolled in online/distance education programs. However, the online/distance education programs should not be taken lightly. These are college level classes with excellent, experienced instructors. My classes thus far have served me well, and I look forward to completing degree programs in both business administration and accounting.
Tina from East Bend, NC
Tuition and fees are a fair price for the courses being received. While the books are not the best price they are far cheaper than you would find at a 4-year college.
