Program Costs

About 16 semester hours are needed to complete the program, including the minimum English and math requirements. The approximate tuition cost is $129.54 plus laboratory fees per credit hour for Cuyahoga County residents ($159.08 for out-of-county residents). If you have completed some courses — either at Tri-C or another college — the cost will be lower, as fewer credit hours will be left to fulfill. If you need remedial courses, the cost will be slightly higher depending on the number of extra courses. Textbooks vary in cost, but plan to spend an average of $120. One textbook is required at this time.

  • Background check by vendor authorized by Tri-C: $90 to $130
