Cost Overview

Most families at Copper Mountain pay between $7,075 and $11,142 per year depending on income. The lowest-income students pay $7,075 annually, while families earning $75,000 to $110,000 pay $11,142. Over two years, total costs range from $14,150 to $22,284.

Only 2.82% of students take federal loans, reflecting the college's affordability in the high desert community. With median earnings hitting $33,281 ten years after enrollment, graduates typically avoid crushing debt loads. The loan repayment rate of 25.74% suggests some students struggle, but most desert dwellers who complete programs find steady work. Just 3.21% receive institutional grants averaging $5,387, showing the college relies on federal aid rather than its own scholarship funds.

Low-income students get the best financial deal here, paying roughly the same as wealthy families at many four-year universities while staying close to Joshua Tree's tight-knit community.
