Applied to a few good schools, Harper College is one of them. Curious, though, about the tuition costs there. How much roughly does it take to complete a degree program at Harper?
Harper College is a community college, so the cost will depend on whether you're planning on attending as an in-district, out-of-district, or out-of-state student. Here's a general estimate as of the 2024-2025 academic year.
If you're a resident of the in-district areas, your tuition can be expected to be around $138.50 per credit hour. It's a bit higher if you're out-of-district, around $395.50 per credit hour. Finally, if you're an out-of-state student, the cost goes up to approximately $471 per credit hour.
Most associate degree programs at Harper College consist of around 60 to 64 credit hours. So, if you're an in-district student, you can estimate a cost of roughly $8,310 to $8,864 for the whole associate degree program.
Remember, these prices do not include fees, books, and supplies or living expenses (if you plan on moving closer to the campus). It's also worth noting, these costs might vary slightly based on your specific program of study and the actual number of credit hours required.
Lastly, always consider applying for financial aid and scholarships to help offset these costs.
