Cost Overview

Families actually pay between $7,545 and $13,563 annually depending on income, with middle-class families ($75-110K) facing the highest costs. Over two years, total expenses range from $15,090 to $27,126. The college serves a predominantly working-class community in California's Central Valley, where affordable education matters most.

Graduates carry just $7,500 in median debt, translating to $80 monthly payments. With median earnings of $43,212 ten years after enrollment, loan payments consume less than 3% of typical graduate income. The 81.1% employment rate reflects strong connections to local agriculture, healthcare, and logistics industries that drive Stockton's economy.

Students from the lowest-income families get the best financial deal here. Those earning under $30K pay $7,545 annually, while families making over $110K surprisingly pay less at $9,949, likely due to California's community college fee structure favoring both ends of the income spectrum.
