Value

KCC offers a quality education at very affordable prices. The direct cost (tuition, fees and books) of attending KCC full-time for one year is about $3,100. This is about 75% less than the cost for one year at a state university. It's also a fraction of what it would cost you to attend a private college for one year.

Tuition at KCC is based on how many credit hours you take each semester. A full-time student should take 15-16 credit hours each semester to complete a KCC degree in two years. KCC's current tuition is $66 a credit hour, plus a $8 activity fee per credit hour. So, 15 hours would cost about $1,110 for tuition and general fees for one semester. This would total just over $2,200 for a full year. On average, expect to pay about $450 per semester for textbooks if you are taking 15 semester hours for a total of about $900 per year.

Though cost is certainly a consideration, what makes KCC a value are the services for students, class selections and faculty dedication. KCC delivers an array of student services unparalleled at other community colleges, including tutoring, support services, mentors and attentive advisers. KCC's exceptional faculty coordinates and teaches more than 50 program choices delivering top-notch educational opportunities in our own backyard.
