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
Probably the best thing about the school is it's half the cost of the University of Houston. Great for students who don't have the financial security many others do and returning students. There's also great scholarships offered, and if your a STEM major (science, technology, engineering, or math) you can get a full ride scholarship with the Scholar's Academy which is an academically competitive program in the College of Sciences and Technology that promotes scholarship and student success for undergraduate students
