Hey, I'm considering Penn State Lehigh Valley as one of my potential colleges, but I'm having trouble finding info about their tuition. Can somebody help me out? Thanks!
Of course! Tuition at Penn State Lehigh Valley can vary depending on your residency status and number of credits enrolled. In recent years, the tuition rates have been about as follows:
- For Pennsylvania residents, the tuition is $595 per credit.
- For non-Pennsylvania residents, the tuition is $950 per credit.
Full-time students typically take 12 to 18 credits per semester. If you're a PA resident taking 15 credits per semester, for example, your tuition would be approximately $8,925 per semester or $17,850 per academic year. For a non-PA resident taking 15 credits per semester, the tuition would be approximately $14,250 per semester or $28,500 per academic year.
Keep in mind that these rates only cover tuition and do not include fees, housing, or other expenses you might incur while attending college. It's important to create a comprehensive budget to account for all the costs. You should also explore financial aid opportunities, as they can help offset the full cost of attendance. Penn State Lehigh Valley offers several scholarships, grants, and work-study options, and you should also complete the FAFSA to be considered for federal financial aid.
Please note that tuition and fees may change from year to year, so I would recommend visiting the Penn State Lehigh Valley website and getting in touch with the financial aid office for the most recent and accurate information. Best of luck with your college search!
