Chaffey keeps debt levels remarkably low compared to most colleges. Only 0.6% of students take federal loans, reflecting the school's affordable tuition structure. The 35% loan repayment rate suggests manageable debt loads for those who do borrow. Graduates earn a median $36,225 in their first year after completion, rising to $42,975 after ten years.

Lower-income students get the best financial deal here. The college serves a predominantly Hispanic student body in the Inland Empire, where affordable education matters most. Nearly 97% of students come from California, taking advantage of the low in-state tuition.
