Dodge City Community College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Dodge City Community College?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $1,800 for Kansas residents and $2,100 for out-of-state students. Reported required fees were $3,750 for either group, making fees a substantial part of the published academic charge.

• In-state tuition and required fees: $5,550, combining the reported 2024-25 amounts.
• Out-of-state tuition and required fees: $5,850, combining the reported 2024-25 amounts.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $8,250; this is a separate housing-and-meals figure, not part of the tuition-and-fees totals above.

Those figures are not a complete personal budget. Books, transportation, supplies, and other living expenses can add to the cost, while course-specific charges may vary. A student living at home should not automatically add the published room-and-board charge to their bill, but should still budget for living expenses.

Financial aid changes what a student may ultimately pay. In the reported aid data, 63% of students received financial aid and 16% had student loans. Average net price varies by family income and aid eligibility; for families with annual income of $0-$48,000, the reported average was $3,747. Net price is an average after applicable grant or scholarship aid, not a quoted price for an individual applicant. Students seeking grants, federal loans, or Federal Work-Study should complete the FAFSA and review the college's scholarship and aid requirements.

What are the work-study opportunities at Dodge City Community College?

Students seeking part-time work should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary campus job. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid for eligible students and must be reflected in an aid offer; it is earned through work rather than applied automatically to a tuition bill.

Students can ask the financial aid office whether they qualify for Work-Study and how available positions are posted. They can also pursue jobs that do not require Work-Study eligibility. Separately, reported career services include individual career planning, résumé help, a job bank, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Those services can support a job search but do not constitute a job offer or an earnings outcome.
