Cost Overview

The average UCLA student pays $14,013 annually, far below the $44,524 out-of-state sticker price. Families earning under $30,000 pay just $6,864 per year, while those making over $110,000 pay $30,481. Over four years, that ranges from $27,456 to $121,924. The quarter system means you'll pack more courses into your degree, potentially graduating faster than peers at semester schools.

Most Bruins graduate with minimal debt burdens. The median debt of $14,000 translates to monthly payments of $148 after graduation. With median earnings hitting $82,511 ten years out, that payment represents less than 3% of income. California residents get the best deal here, making up 75% of students and paying in-state rates. Only 27% of students receive Pell Grants, suggesting UCLA draws heavily from middle and upper-middle-class families who can handle the costs.
