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 Lewis and Clark Community College in 2020 - 2021 was $20,262. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 0.9% each year.
If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $20,628 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $21,190, for a bachelor degree candidate ($20,814 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $83,634 over the course of four years ($41,442 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.
