Coastline Community College extended its commitment to the military family by launching its one-of-a-kind Military Spouse Program. This unique program offers an affordable tuition rate of only $59 per unit, and textbooks are provided free of charge to military spouses. Additionally, the program features accelerated 8-week online courses, 5 Associate degree options to choose from and a mere 12 semester hours needed to meet residency requirements.
Many times military spouses have needed to delay or postpone their educational aspirations due to a pending move, lengthy and multiple deployments, the need to balance work and family or the lack of educational resources in their local area. Such hardships can have an effect on the military familys sense of readiness, can erode retention and can deteriorate a familys financial stability. Coastline college is setting out with a unique and affordable program to solve those hurdles and help the military spouse to directly attain their educational goals.
A very appealing aspect of our Military Spouses Program is that textbooks are provided free to the military spouse. The cost of textbooks has become exorbitant. In a military family with two people taking two courses each, textbooks alone could exceed five or six hundred dollars. Coastline is covering that part of the expense by offering textbooks to military spouses at no cost to them, said Ed McKenney, Dean of Military Education Programs for the college.
