Projected Costs Between $75,232 and $220,002 For a Four Year Degree. Between $37,616 and $106,081 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 College of Marin in 2020 - 2021 was $26,757. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 3.7% each year.

If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $28,779 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $32,103, for a bachelor degree candidate ($29,847 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $121,683 over the course of four years ($58,626 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 $159,311 based on a yearly growth rate of 3.6%. The expected two-year cost is $76,816.

Remember, the full costs quoted above are not what most students will pay, and the net price varies quite a bit based on individual circumstances.
