How Much Will it Cost?
How Much Will it Cost?
Tuition at Calhoun — the fees paid to take classes— is among
the lowest in the area. Refer to Calhoun’s website at
www.calhoun.edu for current tuition and fees schedule. Since the
college does not have dormitories, the only other costs will be
for transportation to and from class and books and supplies. And,
if you need help with college costs, the Office of Student Financial
Services has information on grants, work study, scholarships,
and loans.
