At TCC, we're committed to help all students reach their goals for education and employment.

BEdA classes offer a low-cost option to build skills to college level. We offer you a starting point to college and career pathways for $25 tuition plus $1 per credit class fee. If you don't have a high school diploma, but you are at college level, consider Ability to Benefit funding. Read more here.
