Cost Overview
Families across income levels pay between $33,654 and $38,599 annually after aid, making this one of the more expensive health science programs in California. The net price barely changes whether your family makes $48,000 or $110,000, which means middle-class families get little relief. Over four years, expect to pay around $140,000 to $154,000 total.
Most students borrow heavily to attend. Federal loans cover 83% of students, and graduates leave with $32,946 in debt. Monthly payments average $349, which is manageable given that graduates earn $95,294 in their first year. The strong employment rate of 97.8% helps justify the cost for many nursing and health science students. Women make up 78% of enrollment, reflecting the female-dominated healthcare fields this school serves.
Lower-income students with Pell Grant eligibility get the best deal here, though even they pay over $36,000 annually.
