Attention Parents
Consider this...
Choosing a college or university is one of the biggest decisions that your maturing child will face. Here are a few things to consider during this decision process to help your child find the path that's right for them.
Save on Tuition
The cost of attending public and private universities has been rising steadily for years, leaving many with large debts after graduation. One solution is to attend a community college to save on tuition for the first couple years.
Complete the Basics
Most core curriculum courses at STC are transferable to any public college or university in the state of Texas. View our Transferable Courses at tccns.org.
Decide on a Major
Many high school graduates haven't yet picked a career path. STC offers a wide variety of degree options, allowing students to explore the possibilities, where costs can be lower.
Live Close to Home
One money-saving solution is to live at home and commute to school. While not all college students live at home, you could save thousands of dollars in the long run.
