Costs at Public Universities: How Does California Compare with Other States? Report 10-12
Fuller, Ryan
California Postsecondary Education Commission
The cost of attending the University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) has increased in recent years as UC and CSU have raised fees in response to reduced state funding. Fees are generally lower than fees at public universities in other states, but with California's higher living costs, the overall cost of attendance at UC is higher than at most major public research universities. For the 2009-10 school year, the total cost of attendance, before financial aid, for undergraduate students living on campus ranged from $25,400 at UC Irvine to $28,900 at UC Berkeley while costs for CSU students living on campus are generally in the $20,000-$22,000 range before financial aid. Costs are lower at the inland campuses, such as Fresno and Stanislaus.
