Cost To Attend

If you are already enrolled in your CASC classes, please go to selfservice.carlalbert.org to see your billing statement.
For those interested in attending CASC, use the current year’s Tuition and Fee Chart and the following steps to help determine your estimated cost of attendance.

What is your residency?

  • If you are an Oklahoma resident, you qualify for in-state tuition. Use the chart’s ‘Resident Tuition’ column to calculate your tuition.
  • If you are not an Oklahoma resident but still live in the United States, you will receive a tuition waiver that qualifies you for in-state tuition. Use the chart’s ‘Resident Tuition’ column to calculate your tuition.
  • If you live outside the United States, you will receive international tuition. Use the chart’s ‘International Tuition’ column to calculate your tuition.

How many credit hours will you be taking?

  • If you want to graduate from CASC with an associate’s degree within 2 years, we recommend taking at least 15 credit hours per semester.

Use the ‘Total’ columns on the front to determine your tuition and mandatory fee costs.

Course Fees

  • Once you know the classes you will be taking, you can determine what your course fees will be. Simply match the course abbreviation (like BIO or MATH) to the associated fee.
  • For example, if taking Composition 1 class you will have a course abbreviation of ‘ENGL’ on your schedule. All ‘ENGL’ classes require a Language Arts Fee of $50.


Web Classes

  • When taking any online or hybrid courses, factor in the cost of our web fee: $40 per online credit hour.


Room and Board

  • If living on campus, you will need to include the cost of room and board in your estimate. Add the $75 Housing Maintenance Fee, the cost of your dorm, and the cost of a meal plan. (See rates on the Tuition and Fee Chart).

Textbooks

Other Personal Expenses

  • Factor in other expenses you will need throughout the course of a semester. For example, gas, school supplies, meals, etc.

The National Center for Education Statistics provides a comparison tool called the College Navigator. Here, students can research and compare other colleges’ tuition & fee charges and program offerings. [CASC| |College Navigator]

"My overall experience at CASC was amazing! All faculty was very patient and helpful. My nursing instructors were wonderful and very attentive to our needs. Even to this day, all staff at the hospital brag on the CASC nursing students and their instructors. I will always recommend CASC."
"I had a wonderful experience obtaining my associates in child development. Every instructor helped me grow in knowledge and confidence as a non-traditional, first generation student seeking my degree. Because of my positive experience at Carl Albert, I was prepared to seek my bachelor's and master's degrees and now work in education myself investing in students."
"Before college, I was out of school for 10 years. It was a fresh new start, I learned the basics again, math and more. I’m able to apply my knowledge towards my future and job. My brain is filled with information to understand the very world we live in."
"Carl Albert was an awesome college with great teachers, coaches and students. I made memories that will last a lifetime. I was a baseball player there and loved playing and representing Carl Albert. I became not only a better athlete going to school there but a smarter student as well with the strong academics."
