The Butler County Community College board of trustees has approved a budget for next fiscal year that includes a slight tuition increase.
Starting July 1, tuition will increase $5 to $113 per credit hour for Butler County residents taking fewer than 12 credits and more than 17 credits.
All other Pennsylvania residents will pay $213 per credit hour. Out-of-state residents will pay $313 per credit hour.
The full-time flat rate for students taking 12 to 17 credits will increase by $75 each for Butler County residents, totaling about $1,700 per semester.
“I am pleased with the budget the trustees passed for the upcoming 2018-19 academic year,” BC3 President Dr. Nick Neupauer said. “It is conservative, with a slight tuition increase that continues to allow us to live our mission of affordable, accessible and quality education.”
