The amount of tuition you pay is based on where you live and the number of credit hours you take in a given semester.
Dallas County residents pay $135 per three-hour class — that’s $45 per credit hour, or less than $550 for a full semester load of 12 credit hours.
If you live outside Dallas County, tuition rates are still comparatively low:
