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

Make use of the student labs. Get extra help and anticipate problems you may have with subjects. Plan to schedule appointments with tutors before hand.
Michele from Derby, CT
Housatonic Community college is not a dorm college. The College is for everyday people who want a secondary education. People who attend this school, work jobs, have children, or are students who live in the surrounding area. Many HCC Students transfer to 4 year colleges because of the affordability of HCC- This is a perfect starting off point.
The School offers an excellent education with excellent professors and teachers.
