What it costs

Brazosport College does not publish a total cost for this program (we checked on Nov 4, 2026). Brazosport links only to general college cost of attendance, not a nursing program cost. Ask the program directly for its cost sheet; contact details are on its page.

For comparison only, not this program's price: the 31 Texas public community college RN programs that publish a cost range from $4,440 to $18,297, with a median of $10,820. How we compare
