Tuition & Fees
Tuition and fees at Essex County College are established by the College’s Board of Trustees. Those presented here are for the 2010- 2011 academic year only.
Students should also consider other expenses (meals, books, transportation, etc.), which will vary widely from student to student. Book charges for some fulltime students may be as high as $150.00 per class per semester. A student whose funds are limited must plan carefully for a workable budget.
