Projected Costs Between $41,776 and $127,290 For a Four Year Degree. Between $20,888 and $58,733 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 East Arkansas Community College in 2019 - 2020 was $16,944. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 7.9% each year.

If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $19,734 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $24,804, for a bachelor degree candidate ($21,297 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $88,819 over the course of four years ($41,031 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 $92,175 based on a yearly growth rate of 8.0%. The expected two-year cost is $42,531.

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.
