How much is tuition?
Tuition is the price colleges charge for classes. Students also pay other fees related to enrolling in and attending a college. The cost of tuition and fees varies by college.
There’s a wide range of prices, as the table below shows. Remember, many students receive grants and scholarships that offset college costs.
| Type of College |
Average Published Yearly Tuition and Fees (2022-23) |
|---|---|
| Public Two-Year College (in-district students) | $3,860 |
| Public Four-Year College (in-state students) | $10,940 |
| Public Four-Year College (out-of-state students) | $28,240 |
| Private Four-Year College | $39,400 |
These numbers are based on published tuition costs, not what students actually end up paying out of their own pockets. There can be a big difference between those two numbers, thanks to financial aid.
