How much does Virginia Tech cost?
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University reports published tuition of $15,948 for in-state students and $37,764 for out-of-state students. The College Scorecard reports an average net price of $24,953 per year for federal-aid recipients after grant and scholarship aid. Residency classification determines which published tuition applies; choosing in-state in the calculator does not establish eligibility. Published tuition and average net price are different measures, and neither is your family’s personalized aid offer. College Scorecard fields can reflect different reporting periods and can change.

How dual credit changes this math
Students in most states can earn college credit during high school through dual enrollment, AP, and CLEP, sometimes at a lower price than university enrollment. A course can transfer but still satisfy only an elective, or be denied when it does not fit the receiving college’s degree requirements.
The calculator is a modeled scenario, not a promised result. Residency, course sequencing, catalog timing, and the receiving college’s final decisions can prevent the modeled reduction. The Credit Map uses published sources and flags what still needs confirmation; it does not bind Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
