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 Minnesota West Community and Technical College in 2020 - 2021 was $18,536. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 3.9% each year.

If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $20,006 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $22,433, for a bachelor degree candidate ($20,784 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $84,816 over the course of four years ($40,791 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 $107,035 based on a yearly growth rate of 3.3%. The expected two-year cost is $51,760.
