Are you a prospective (or current) college student living on a limited budget in Maricopa County, and looking to save a significant amount of money?
Then you’ll want to read an Arizona Economics blog post written by Mesa Community College economics teacher Scott Gustafson, proposing a very simple idea to cut your college tuition by approximately 200%!
Just how simple, but powerful, of an idea?
Instead of enrolling at one of Arizona’s State universities this Fall semester where tuition is expected to climb over $8000.00 for the year, consider taking similar transferable credit classes at a Maricopa Community College, where tuition is to remain steady at just over $2000.00 for the 2010-2011 school year.
That’s what I did to initially afford college.
I was able to save on two years of tuition by fulfilling my pre-pharmacy requirements at Phoenix College, then transferring those credits to the University of Arizona upon acceptance into their College of Pharmacy program to finish the final four years.
Not only was I able to save money, I also have very fond memories of the time I spent at Phoenix College. I received a quality education, met some great people, always felt welcomed, and throughly enjoyed my time there.
You can’t put a price on that.
