<p>“Specifically, the program will be offered to incoming freshmen who already have at least 12 college credit hours, either through Advanced Placement or community college classes, or other accelerated work. By paring a year off their undergraduate experiences, those students would save an estimated $8,000, 0r 22 percent, in tuition, room, board and other fees, compared to their peers in four-year programs.”</p>

<p>This is becoming commmon here in NC. All of our community colleges already offer two-year transfer programs that are specifically designed for students who will finish their degrees at a 4 year in-state university. It really saves lots of money. Consider that the cost for 1 credit at an NC community college is only $50 for in-state students, it’s a bargain. If you do the math, the average tuition costs for one semester at an NC community college is only $600 + fees (12 credits for full-time status).</p>
