CASC freezes tuition and fees again

POTEAU — Carl Albert State College will not increase tuition or mandatory fees for the third consecutive year, maintaining its status as the overall most affordable community college in Oklahoma when factoring in total mandatory costs.

“Holding tuition and fees steady for a third straight year reflects our commitment to our students and our communities,” CASC President Dr. Jay Falkner said. “We understand the financial pressures many families are facing, and we’re committed to doing our part to ensure that earning a college degree remains an attainable goal.”

In addition to frozen tuition rates, CASC offers financial aid, scholarships, and flexible degree tracks designed to reduce student debt. The institution operates campuses in Poteau and Sallisaw, alongside an online campus, offering associate degrees, certificate programs, and university transfer pathways.

Prospective students can find information on admissions, financial aid, and academic enrollment at carlalbert.edu.
