Hey y'all. I've applied to Carroll College but I'm a bit confused about their tuition. Can anyone clarify it for me? How expensive is it really, compared to other similar colleges?
According to the data available at the time of writing, for the academic year of 2024-2025, Carroll College in Montana had tuition and fees approximating around $40,000. This number may vary slightly by the time you matriculate, as costs tend to go up each year.
With the additional estimated costs like room and board, books, and supplies, the total estimated cost of attendance can come to around $53,000. However, it's important to keep in mind that the actual cost comes down significantly for many students after financial aid and scholarships are taken into account.
Comparatively speaking, this is in line with most private institutions in the United States. On average, tuition and fees at private colleges run about $38,000 per year. So, Carroll College's tuition seems to be about average compared to similar institutions.
To get a good idea of how much you'd actually pay, I recommend using the net price calculator (https://www.carroll.edu/admission-aid/tuition-costs/net-price-calculator) on Carroll College's website. This tool provides an estimation of what students similar to you paid to attend the institution in the previous year, after considering grants and scholarship aid. It's not a perfect estimate, but it can give you a sense of what to expect financially.
