The program at a glance
The selected 72-credit AAS is offered through Southern Wake Campus. The program page lists campus and in-person/online hybrid formats, with day and evening options. The department describes its associate degrees as two-year, six-semester programs; confirm the course sequence available for your start date.
What the published cost covers
$76 per credit, North Carolina resident.
Fall 2026 tuition only. Required fees and supplies are additional.
The Fall 2026 schedule lists tuition of $76 per credit for in-state students and $268 for out-of-state students. Tuition is capped at 16 credits per semester: $1,216 in-state or $4,288 out-of-state. Technology, student activity/athletics, college-access and textbook-access fees add to tuition; equipment and course-specific costs can also apply.
A per-credit rate is not an all-in degree price. Semester tuition caps, your actual schedule, required fees and residency all affect the total. Ask whether textbook-access charges apply and what alternatives are available.
Questions to settle before enrolling
- Which day or evening course sequence can I complete for my intended start?
- How many courses require attendance on campus in the hybrid option?
- What are the complete semester charges, including textbooks, kitchen supplies and uniforms?
Use the school's current enrollment agreement and an individualized aid offer to finish your comparison. Published prices can change, and a school's listed price does not tell you what aid you will receive.
