Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

In-State Tuition In-state tuition is the tuition charged by institutions to those students who meet the state's or institution's residency requirements. In-district tuition is the tuition charged by the institution to those students residing in the locality in which they attend school and may be a lower rate than in-state tuition if offered by the institution.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

What Students Are Saying

It's definitely a pricey school, but I feel like I'm getting a lot more adequate attention from my professors and they're always willing to help. Being in small classes, I'm able to get to know my teachers and they're able to get to know me! They have office hours and are always willing to stay after class to answer questions. It's great! Definitely pricey, but worth every penny.
Hayley from San Jose, CA
Of course, the cost at UOP would be a little pricey because of being a private school but you do get your money's worth here on this campus. Again, with the class sizes you have a better chance of retaining the information for the prices that you are paying. UOP also provides many ways of payment that can help the students who need it
Viet from Stockton, CA
super expensive, but worth it in some way.

Even though it is pricey, from very graduate I have heard that it is totally worth every penny.
Evan from Tracy, CA
The school is very very expensive but the financial aid department is pretty efficient and helpful.
Cara from Stockton, CA
Pacific does charge nearly fifty thousand dollars for tuition. However, the school is worth the money. The small size is wonderful because if you aren't very good with directions, it's actually hard to get lost once you figure out the basic buildings like the dining hall, your dorm, and chances are at least Freshman year most of your classes will be in one central area or building. The hands on experience with teachers is great as well, and is worth the tuition just because of that fact. Having the ability to have your teachers know who you are and the fact that you have access to them is a priceless asset most colleges cannot say they have.
Hillary from Alameda, CA
It is VERY pricy, maybe more that it should be, however I believe its one of the best educations and personal attention you can receive at a California university.
Diana from Live Oak, CA
Pacific is more expensive than CSUs and UCs but it's the correct fit for me. A great education, free tutoring, sports, Greek life, free gym membership, and so much more, it's hard to imagine myself at any other school. And besides, Pacific's financial aid services are great as well, helping students to find a way to attend. They don't leave you in the dust like other schools I had to deal with.
