Tuition and Fees

Yes, you can...afford a private education

If you examine tuition at other private and state schools, you'll find Columbia College-Coast Guard Island offers an affordable private education at a cost comparable to a public university.

When we say we're affordable, that's exactly what we mean. Less than 35 percent of our adult students graduate with debt, and when they do, the average amount is less than $3,000.
