You Can Afford College

​Dallas County residents pay $297 per three-hour class — that’s just $99 per credit hour. Most students pay less than $1,200 per semester.

A student jumps through the air at the Richland campus

“To me, it was what I could afford, just because you’re paying less doesn’t mean you’re getting less education. But, if I can get an education for less and still advance, it’s a no-brainer. I went on to UNT, then I still went on to graduate at SMU, but none of that education from Dallas College was disqualified. The credits counted 100%.” Read Iris Diaz's story.
