No, Broward College is not free. Students enrolled at Broward College are required to pay tuition and various fees to attend courses and programs.
Understanding Broward College Tuition Costs
Broward College, like most educational institutions, charges tuition based on factors such as residency status (in-state or out-of-state) and the number of credit hours a student takes. These fees contribute to the operational costs of the college, including faculty salaries, facilities, and academic resources.
Specific Tuition Rates and Fees
Tuition rates vary depending on specific circumstances. For instance, in-state students who are taking an on-campus or online course for the third time or more face a specific charge.
Here's a breakdown of some tuition fee structures:
| Tuition Type | Rate Per Credit Hour | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| In-state (On-Campus or Online) | $245.17 | This specific rate applies to courses taken three or more times (3rd attempt and beyond) by in-state students. Different rates apply for first and second attempts. |
| Out-of-State (On-Campus or Online) | Fees Apply | Out-of-state students are charged tuition fees per credit hour. These fees remain consistent regardless of how many times a course is attempted. The exact rate is higher than in-state rates and is not free. |
Beyond per-credit-hour tuition, students may also incur additional costs such as:
- Application fees
- Technology fees
- Activity and service fees
- Lab fees (for specific courses)
- Books and supplies
- Health insurance (if applicable)
For a comprehensive and up-to-date breakdown of all tuition and fees, it is always recommended to consult the official Broward College admissions website. You can find detailed information regarding these costs on their Tuition & Costs page.
