Tuition and Costs
TCC is an affordable choice for international students.
At TCC, you can earn the first two years of your U.S. bachelor’s degree and gain a
high-quality education at a far lower cost than a four-year university. We then prepare
you to successfully transfer to a four-year university or college to continue your
studies.
2024-2025 Estimated Tuition and Costs
Tuition costs below are based on a standard course load of 15 credits. International students must take a minimum of 12 credits per quarter.
Costs noted exclude personal expenses or travel costs, since they vary from person to person. Please plan your budget according to your individual needs. Note: All costs are in USD and subject to change without notice.
