Cost of attendance:
Student visa holders in the US will not be authorized for employment except under very unusual circumstances; therefore, you should not plan a local employment to provide you with additional financial support.
The College estimates the cost of one academic year’s expenses to be approximately $24,000. You must show an additional $2,500 in support for each dependent who will accompany you. An academic year represents two semesters (fall and spring). Summer expenses are additional to those listed. If you or your sponsor are not able to provide bank statements showing the full amount of support, you will need to submit an I-134, Affidavit of Support. Expenses include, but are not limited to: tuition and registration fees, books and supplies, health insurance, and room and board. These estimates are subject to change. You may find an explanation of tuition and fees charged by the college here. Please note that international students are charged at the out-of-state tuition rate and may not be classified as California residents. International students are not eligible to apply for federal financial aid.
