Prince George's Community College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Prince George's Community College?

For 2025-26 reporting, PGCC's listed full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total $6,314 for in-state students and $10,890 for out-of-state students. These are published charges, not a complete yearly budget or the amount every student ultimately pays.

• In-state full-time tuition: $5,136, plus $1,178 in required fees.
• Out-of-state full-time tuition: $7,584, plus $1,178 in required fees.
• Reported part-time tuition: $214 per credit in-state or $316 per credit out-of-state, before applicable fees.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: $1,500.

Residency classification matters, and students should check the current tuition schedule for any county-specific rate or course-specific charge before estimating a bill. A complete cost-of-attendance budget can also include transportation, food, housing, and personal expenses. PGCC does not operate student housing, so a housing allowance in a financial-aid budget is not the price of a PGCC residence hall.

After grants and scholarships, reported average net prices vary by family income. For families earning $48,000 or less, the figure is $7,802; for those earning above $110,000, it is $12,979. These group averages are not individual quotes. Financial-aid reporting also indicates that 81% of students received some form of aid and 12% had student loans. Eligible students may investigate federal grants and loans, Maryland aid, PGCC scholarships, and military or veterans' education benefits; the financial-aid application and each program's eligibility rules determine what is available to a particular student.

What are the work-study opportunities at Prince George's Community College?

PGCC students can seek part-time work while enrolled, but Federal Work-Study is distinct from an ordinary campus job. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program: eligibility depends on a student's financial-aid circumstances, and an award does not itself place the student in a position.

Students interested in it should complete the applicable federal aid application, review their aid offer, and ask PGCC's financial-aid or student-employment staff how available positions are posted and filled. The career center offers broader employment support, including career and interest exploration, résumé help, counseling, job fairs, and employer recruitment. A paid job, an internship, and a Work-Study position may each provide experience, but they have different hiring and academic-credit rules.
