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

The quality is as great as any university for a mere fraction of the cost. I can afford to learn.
Chelsea from Bay City, MI
Most Delta credits transfer to many of the major schools in Michigan which saves you a ton of money! If you plan on going to Michigan State for example, you can earn your general education requirements in about 1/3 of the tuition cost per year at Delta.
Jared from Saginaw, MI
So worth it not to be in debt.
Amy from Bay City, MI
Although it is a community college after one pays tuition there are other fees you have to worry about. There is a fee connected with each course you enroll with, this is the teachers out of classroom consultation fee. All in all you aren't paying for a four year university but there are fees that are not publicized.
Kathleen from Saginaw, MI
I couldn't be happier with the cost of tuition. It is the cheapest way to get through all the prerequisite classes that you need and you also get to have some great professors.
Leanne from Saginaw, MI
Even for a community college, Delta has the best prices I have found for tuition, etc.
