Every school in California
Cost is the average yearly cost of attendance (tuition, fees, books and living costs) before aid; net price is that cost minus the average grant and scholarship aid. Both are for full-time first-year students who get federal aid. Completion is the share who finished within 150% of normal time.

About these numbers
- Which schools
- Every school in the College Scorecard file of 15 Oct 2026 that is currently operating and approved for federal student aid (Title IV). Schools that do not take federal aid are not in the file.
College Scorecard
College Scorecard data, Most Recent Institution-Level file (release of 15 Oct 2026)U.S. Department of Education- Checked
- 21 Oct 2026
Currently operating Title IV schools (CURROPER = 1). Cost = average annual cost of attendance (COSTT4_A, or COSTT4_P for program-year schools), net price = NPT4_PUB / NPT4_PRIV, both 2024-25; completion = C150_4 (four-year schools, fall 2019 cohort) or C150_L4 (fall 2022 cohort), within 150% of normal time.
View source - Type and control
- The federal "level of institution" (4-year, 2-year, less than 2-year) and control (public, private nonprofit, private for-profit) as the school reports them.
- Cost a year
- Average annual cost of attendance, including tuition and fees, books and supplies, and living expenses, for full-time, first-time undergraduates who receive federal aid, 2024-25. Program-year schools (most trade schools) report it per program year.

- Net price
- That cost minus the average grant and scholarship aid, 2024-25. What a family pays depends on income: every school's own net price calculator gives a personal estimate.
- Completion
- Share of full-time, first-time students who completed a degree or certificate at the school within 150% of normal time: at four-year schools, students who started in fall 2019 (or the 2019-20 year); at other schools, fall 2022 (or 2022-23). Rounded to a whole percent.
- Fields and doctorates
- From the awards each school reported to NCES IPEDS for 2023-24 (July 2023 – June 2024, first majors), grouped into CIP 2020 families; the level shown is the highest award made in that family that year. A school that made no award in a field that year is not listed for it.
