An unbeatable value

Start smart: Get options, Save thousands

Completing your first and second-year studies at Bucks can be a real cost benefit. Our tuition is more affordable than many public and private institutions, and with our quality education, you can earn your associate degree and save money at the same time.

Whether your plans for life after Bucks involve transferring or entering the workforce, the savings of a Bucks start will benefit you for years to come. Our tuition and fee structure can be viewed on the link below. Please know that tuition and fees for international students, along with any student in non-immigrant status, are at the out-of-state rate.

Tuition and Fees

Transferring from Bucks

The community college model is a unique arrangement that allows you to complete your university degree at a fraction of the traditional cost. Here's how it works.

 
1.

Associate Degree

When you study at Bucks for your first two years, you will earn an associate degree. With our state of the art facilities and an incredible range of majors, your Bucks foundation will prepare you perfectly for your next step.

View our majors & programs

 
2.

Transfer

Once you have your associate degree, you can enroll at any four-year college or university, and receive credit for the two years you’ve already studied at Bucks. You’ll be on your way to your goal on your first day of class.

Transfer Planning

 
3.

Bachelor's Degree

Once at the four-year institution of your choice, you typically can complete your Bachelor’s Degree in only two more years. Because your credits have transferred, your degree will bear the insignia of the four-year university.

Transfer agreements

Transfer Programs

We have built our network of transfer agreements tirelessly, ensuring that our students gain the most value possible from their time at Bucks.

For many of our preferred transfer schools, not only will Bucks students get 100% equivalent credit for every course they have taken, but the final two years of their bachelor’s program will be discounted as well.

Study in the States

Learn about the process and rules for studying in the United States as an international student.

Even if no money was earned in the past year, F-1 students are required to file a tax return with the IRS.


Next Steps & Application

If you are ready to begin your Bucks application process, these are your next steps.
