What is the average tuition for an out of state college?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It depends on the university.

Can you give more information? Like what schools are you looking at? And what state you're coming from?
 
I am looking at Penn state, Berkley and UNC. I am coming from New Jersey.
 
I would go to each website and check their tuition costs for out of state students.

Would taking classes in the fall and the spring count as one year or two years? Also how would I find out scholarships that I am eligible for?

That would be one year - fall semester and spring semester. If it's quarter based, then I have no idea.

For scholarships you could check the financial aid department at the school you are looking at? Maybe the FAFA site. I'd probably stop into the financial aid department though. They'll be able to answer specific questions for you.

I'd echo this. I'd contact the FA department ASAP if you are planning on attending any of these universities next year(2011-2012).

Also usually the websites should offer some sorts of information regarding out of state scholarships.

I'm currently a junior so I still have time. I really worried that my parents won't be able to afford my tuition costs. Will financial aid bring down my tuition by a lot?

It all really depends on your situation, I commend you for looking at this now. At this point I'd contact each college you're looking at about in-state tuition waivers or President scholar programs(full rides).

I'm currently at the University of Tennessee Knoxville for Nuclear Engineering and they have honors programs (Specifically Haslam scholars program) that offer full tuition and fees paid for I believe. Other universities like Georgia Tech (Another NE school) have something like that.

Do you have the link for it? I have been looking on the University of Tennessee's website and I cannot find it.

How much did it cost you? Or did you get a full ride?

I think it is quarter based since you can take classes in the fall,spring or the fall and the spring.It says 15 credits for the fall and spring each.
 
Would it be worth it to get a masters?
 
A masters might be worthwide, but it's entirely dependent on what type of work you will be doing.

I either want to work for a company or want to work at a plant.
 
Would I able to go to a state school in New Jersey (where I live) for two years and take the basic engineering classes and then take the final two years at Penn State?
