Projected Costs Between $52,256 and $220,599 For a Four Year Degree. Between $26,128 and $100,207 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 Cuyamaca College in 2020 - 2021 was $21,590. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 8.7% each year.

If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $25,515 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $32,779, for a bachelor degree candidate ($27,737 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $116,184 over the course of four years ($53,252 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 $159,743 based on a yearly growth rate of 9.6%. The expected two-year cost is $72,563.

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.
