Freeze in Tuition at Brookdale For 2013 - 2014

Freeze in Tuition at Brookdale Community College For 2013-2014.

Brookdale Community College’s Board of Trustees approved the College’s proposed
FY 2014 budget, which includes a freeze in tuition rates for 2013-14 academic
year, at their monthly meeting last night. 

Monmouth Countyresidents will continue to pay $115.50 per credit hour with a maximum of $1732 per semester. General service fees, which are 24% of the tuition rate, will maintain at $27.72 per credit hour.

“By serving as careful stewards of public resources, the College has been able to continue preparing students to become the educated workforce of the future; transfer to the college or university of their choice and engage in lifelong learning. I would like to thank the Board of Trustees for their support; I appreciate their dedication and continued commitment to our students and our community,” said President Dr. Maureen Murphy at the January 24 Board of Trustees meeting at the Lincroft campus.

The College’s Operating Budget is $92,270,093, which reflects a 3.1% decrease compared to the FY 13 budget. The proposed budget supports the major goals and objectives of the College, allowing Brookdale to maintain its open door policy, support enrollment, existing programs and maintain the infrastructure of the College.

Brookdale’s budget is subject to final approval at the Board of School Estimate on February 28 at 1:00 pm, at the Monmouth County Hall of Records.

“By serving as careful stewards of public resources..." Well, maybe now they might be "careful stewards" of them, but we certainly saw that was not how it was before. However, this is a good thing. Now if publishers could only make textbooks more reasonable to purchase...

Make sure you shop around for textbooks - Amazon, Half.com, etc. By law they have to publish the ISBN and you can compare prices. I don't know about Brookdale, but some Schools offer textbook renting which is much cheaper. I have seen a decrease in prices since my son started College in 2009.

Oh, I am so glad to see that you are preserving history. My husband & I visited your town aRead More couple of weeks ago. My 9th Great Grandfather Thomas Whitlock is buried in the Old First Baptist Church yard. I was honored to stand on the porch of the home he helped build and lived in at Shoal Harbor. The name has changed to the Wilson-Seabrook House and now the Bayshore Activities Center. Wow! Too bad all the museum pieces were removed. I would love to have seen them. Maybe next trip I can see where the items moved to and help with some clean up. I would be glad to help. Ancestor of Middletown... Diana (Whitlock) Moa Broken Arrow, OK

People need help rebuilding. They do not need used items and used clothes. That time has passed.Read More How about giving out $1000 gift cards to Home Depot or Target like the Middletown Fund?
