Unfortunately, College Factual was unable to determine the value ranking of CCAD due to a lack of data.
Averaged across all students — those who receive aid and those who pay full price — a year at CCAD costs about $29,946. Over a standard four-year bachelor's program, that adds up to an estimated $119,785 for the degree.
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Sticker Price (before aid) | $54,801 / year |
| Net Price (students receiving aid) | $29,439 / year |
| Average Cost (all students) | $29,946 / year |
| Estimated 4-Year Cost | $119,785 |
*The average cost weights the net price paid by aid recipients against the sticker price paid by everyone else. The 4-year figure assumes the standard bachelor's length; your actual time to graduate and price may differ.
There are many ways to lower the cost of a college education. Consider in-state tuition, transfer credits, or finishing your degree faster. Learn more about CCAD net price and the factors that affect it.
The price you actually pay depends on your circumstances — most students do not pay the full sticker price.
*College Factual publishes a single overall value ranking (the All Students row). The cost rows show what each aid group pays toward the same degree.
