I'm looking at potentially going to community college before transferring to a 4-year school. One college I'm looking into is Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC). Can anyone tell me about the tuition costs at GRCC?
Sure, I can provide some insight into that. Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC) typically bases its tuition on the number of credits you're planning to take and your residency status. As of the 2024-2025 academic year, a resident enrolled in a credit hour will pay approximately $124.
For non-residents and out-of-state students, the cost per credit hour is higher. It's important to note that these costs are subject to change each year, and it's also important to factor in additional costs such as textbooks, supplies, and a technology fee.
It's a great strategy to attend a community college before transferring to a 4-year university. Doing so can often save a significant amount of money and still provide you with a quality education. Plus, many community colleges, including GRCC, have articulation agreements with 4-year institutions which can make the transfer process smoother.
