Affordability and Value

CCE at Assumption is one of the best college values for adult students seeking high-quality associate and bachelor degree programs.

A recent analysis of the cost of higher education for adults in Central Massachusetts found that the expense of attending CCE at Assumption is comparable to the total cost of tuition and fees at public colleges. We do not assess additional (and sometimes hidden) fees -- a standard practice at other institutions. Furthermore, CCE’s tuition is about half of the cost of tuition at for-profit colleges. This is good news for adult students who want a premier private college education for roughly the total cost of attending a public college!
