Projected Costs Between $42,948 and $130,946 For a Four Year Degree. Between $21,474 and $63,001 For a Two Year Degree.

It can be a bit scary to look at the total projected cost of a college education over the course of a multi-year degree, however, doing so will help you better understand the financial commitment you are making.

The overall cost for on-campus, in-state students to attend Dawson Community College in 2020 - 2021 was $18,111. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 4.1% each year.

If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $19,619 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $22,120, for a bachelor degree candidate ($20,419 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $83,411 over the course of four years ($40,038 over the course of two years). These numbers do not take into consideration financial aid, which reduces this overall cost by varying amounts per student.

The cost for out-of-state students is more, with an overall expected four-year cost of $94,822 based on a yearly growth rate of 3.8%. The expected two-year cost is $45,621.

Remember, the full costs quoted above are not what most students will pay, and the net price varies quite a bit based on individual circumstances.
