Projected Costs Between $29,234 and $365,885 For a Four Year Degree. Between $15,194 and $179,428 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 University of California - Los Angeles in 2018 - 2019 was $33,901. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 1.2% each year.

If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $34,754 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $36,073, for a bachelor degree candidate ($35,188 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $141,644 over the course of four years ($69,942 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 $264,949 based on a yearly growth rate of 1.9%. The expected two-year cost is $129,929.

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.
