Cost Overview

Most families at College of Marin pay between $13,784 and $20,371 annually depending on income. Low-income students ($0-30K) get the best deal at $13,784 per year, while higher earners ($75-110K+) pay $20,371. Over two years, total costs range from $27,568 to $40,742. In-state tuition starts at just $1,558, but housing and living expenses in affluent Marin County drive up the real price.

Graduates typically leave with $10,062 in debt, translating to monthly payments of $107. With median earnings hitting $42,654 ten years out, that debt load stays manageable. Only 17% of students receive Pell Grants, reflecting Marin's wealthy demographics. Just 3% get institutional aid averaging $5,840. The biggest bargain goes to local residents from lower-income families who can live at home and transfer to UC or CSU schools after completing their general education requirements.
