Cost Estimator
Cost Overview
Most families pay around $9,800 per year at East Los Angeles College, though costs vary dramatically by income. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay about $9,000 annually, while those from higher-income households ($75,000-$110,000) face bills closer to $14,400. Over two years, total costs range from $18,000 to $28,800. The college serves a predominantly Latino community in the San Gabriel Valley, where many students work while attending classes.
Graduates typically leave with $10,500 in debt, translating to monthly payments of $111. That represents just 3% of the median graduate's $42,000 annual earnings after ten years. Only 0.52% of students take federal loans, reflecting both the low costs and the fact that many students pay as they go. Low-income students get the strongest value here, paying less than half what they'd face at most four-year universities while building career skills in LA's diverse economy.
