Projected Costs Between $78,571 and $242,716 For a Four Year Degree. Between $37,080 and $118,836 For a Two Year Degree.

It can be a bit scary to look at the total projected cost of a college education over the course of a multi-year degree, however, doing so will help you better understand the financial commitment you are making.

The overall cost for on-campus, in-state students to attend California State University - Channel Islands in 2019 - 2020 was $28,966. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 3.0% each year.

If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $30,742 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $33,612, for a bachelor degree candidate ($31,670 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $128,651 over the course of four years ($62,412 over the course of two years). These numbers do not take into consideration financial aid, which reduces this overall cost by varying amounts per student.

The cost for out-of-state students is more, with an overall expected four-year cost of $175,759 based on a yearly growth rate of 2.1%. The expected two-year cost is $86,053.
