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

TMCC is ridiculous cheap, especially for the amazing services they provide. Most services are free, tutoring, printing, library services, academic advisement. My English teacher actually said she had never worked for a school that was such a bargain.
Jacob from Sparks, NV
The pricing is not bad for a community college. I got a lot of knowledge out of it, and it is probably just as good as some other expensive colleges.
Hannah from Silver Springs, NV
cheapest in the area. i had to take a class at unr, because tmcc was remodeling their laboratories and boy did i pay for that class. at tmcc a class (depending on how many credits) is roughly around $220. i paid close to $800 at unr for one class!!!
