According to College President Cathleen McColgin, Ph.D., the decision to freeze in-state tuition and fees at the current levels reflects the College’s commitment to maintaining an affordable and accessible higher education opportunity for all learners.

“We acknowledge the continuing financial hardships faced by many students and their families due to the coronavirus pandemic and exacerbated by the current inflationary situation,” said Dr. McColgin. “We provide high quality, accessible educational opportunities for all, and this tuition freeze is one way we can demonstrate this commitment. We are grateful for the support of the Herkimer College Board of Trustees toward this priority.”

In another effort to increase affordability, Herkimer College has developed BookMarket™ in collaboration with Barnes & Noble College. BookMarket™ is a course-material delivery program that lowers the cost of materials and ensures students have access to all their required textbooks on or before the first day of class. The program will be available for the Fall 2022 semester.

“Programs like BookMarket or Commit2Complete, which provides $1000 for on-campus housing to students to who pledge to obtain their degree in two years or less, exemplifies our mission and determination to break down barriers to success,” added Dr. McColgin.

Herkimer College is ranked among the top two-year colleges in the nation based on transfer and graduation rates.
