So You Wanna Be a NSCC Shark? How Much Will It Cost You (Besides Your Dignity in Those PE Shorts)?
Let's face it, college can leave your wallet feeling lighter than a Kardashian's morals. But fear not, future NSCC Shark (that's the mascot, by the way - way cooler than a boring old "Fighting Wildcats" or something), because Nashville State Community College is known for being kind to your bank account.
Here's the lowdown on the tuition sitch:
In-State vs. Out-of-State: A Tale of Two Tuition Rates
In the wise words of Destiny's Child, there's a "Bills, Bills, Bills" difference depending on your residency status. Tennessee residents get the sweet in-state deal, while our out-of-state friends fork over a bit more.
In-Staters Rejoice! You're looking at a base tuition of $168 per credit hour. That's right, for every class you take, you pay $168. But wait, there's more! Registration fees tack on another $25, bringing your total cost per credit hour to a cool $193.
Out-of-Staters, Don't Despair! You'll pay a base tuition of $692 per credit hour. Registration fees are the same for everyone, so you're looking at a total of $717 per credit hour. Ouch! But hey, think of it as an investment in experiencing the magic of Nashville hot chicken.
Full-Time Ballers vs. Part-Time Hobbyists
Now, if you're a full-time student taking 12 or more credit hours (go big or go home, right?), NSCC throws you a bone by charging a flat rate. This means you pay a set price regardless of the number of classes you take (within reason, of course). Check out the handy chart on the NSCC website (

Tuition isn't the whole story. There are additional fees to consider, like lab fees for certain courses and parking if you plan on bringing your grandma's jalopy to campus. But hey, at least they don't charge you to breathe the Nashville air (yet).
