Tuition and fees are to increase 8 percent next year at Montgomery County Community College, which the college said is due in part to cuts in county funding, according to the Philadelphia Business Journal.

A three-credit course will cost $405, while a 12-credit semester will cost $3,240 and a 15-credit semester will cost $4,050, .

Tuition now makes up 55 percent of the college's operating budget, in comparison with 36 percent a decade ago.
