Our Commitment
Our goal is to provide every admitted student the opportunity to attend. We believe a student's financial resources should not be a barrier to enrollment.
We never consider a student's ability to pay when making an admission decision.
- We do not ask students to take out loans to finance their education.

Estimated Other Expenses
In addition to tuition and room and board fees, there are other expenses that a student will need to plan for:
- Books and supplies
- Personal incidental expenses
- Transportation
- Health insurance
- Miscellaneous
The average cost for books and supplies is approximately $600-$700 per year.
This category covers routine expenses that will be incurred during the school year for things such as laundry, personal items, and entertainment. We estimate $500 to be a reasonable amount for these expenses during the school year.
Students may travel home during the school year. The expense of traveling will vary according to the location of the student’s home and the mode of transportation. It is reasonable to assume travel expenses of $500 for students from within California and $1,000 for students from other states.
This category includes other expenditures such as clothing, personal computer, phone, etc. We estimate students’ miscellaneous expenses to be $1,500–$2,000 per year. However, it is possible to spend far less than this amount for students with conservative spending habits.
