College isn’t cheap. Tuition and fees at universities and private colleges can range from $2000 to nearly $10,000 each semester! And that doesn’t include dorms, meals, or books! At Volunteer State, you’ll pay around $1,000 per semester if you are a full-time student (12+ credit hours attempted) or $92 per credit hour if you attend part-time. Our classes are just as challenging, you’ll study the same subjects and you’ll have the advantage of smaller classes, all for half the cost of a public university.

But the real payoff for a college degree is in your paycheck. If you have an associate degree you will earn almost a quarter of a million dollars more over your lifetime than a person who didn’t go to college. With a bachelor’s degree the payoff is nearly $390,000! A degree from Volunteer State is the way to pay a little and earn a lot.
