The overall cost for on-campus, in-state students to attend California State University - Dominguez Hills in 2020 - 2021 was $26,210. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 0.9% each year.

If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $26,689 during their first year.
