Hi all, I'm looking into Cal State Long Beach for my undergraduate studies. I know their programs are great, but I'm uncertain about their tuition. Anyone has info on how much it costs to study there per year?
Sure, tuition fees at Cal State Long Beach, like other California State University campuses, vary depending on whether you are an in-state or an out-of-state student.
For the academic year 2024-2025, the estimated undergraduate tuition and fees for California residents are about $3,689 per semester. Please note that this amount includes both the tuition fee and the systemwide fee that all CSU students must pay.
If you're coming from out of state, there is an additional non-resident tuition fee. For the 2024-2025 academic year, you must add $420 for each unit of credit you take to your tuition total. So, if you're taking a typical load of 15 credits per semester, that would be an additional $6,300 per semester.
Remember, these costs do not include room and board, books and supplies, personal expenses, or transportation, so do factor those into your budget as well.
Financial aid is available to most students and can significantly reduce these costs. You are encouraged to fill out the FAFSA to assess your eligibility for federal, state, and institutional aid.
Hope this helps.
