Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying

I'll begin this by telling future students that this is an affordable and respectable college. The teachers here are not only friendly as can be but they definitely know what they're talking about. With the courses being affordable and comfortable, I have honestly no complaints with the campus. The courses taught here are varied from nursing to funeral science. There are even a few four year degrees like criminology. Personally, being a business management student, the courses here make it easy to maintain a healthy grade point average and the workload isn't too overbearing. It's a perfect first time college experience.

I must say that if someone is looking for an education while still wanting save their money, this school is a perfect choice. It is much cheaper than any nearby schools and it still gives you a great education. I suggest for anyone to go to this school even if they are planning on extending their education past two years. I am planning on transferring to a four-year college and I can now have a transfer scholarship that will pay for a lot of my tuition. I can not have to worry too much about my future thanks to Arkansas State University - Mountain Home.
