Tuition and Interest-Free Payment Plans
Being an exclusively online school, we can continually streamline our operations to offer the best value to our students.
However, low-cost does not mean low-quality. CCU is accredited and all programs are taught by qualified faculty with approved, traditional textbooks.
Tuition at California Coast University is based on a cost per unit of credit. Associate, bachelor, and master’s courses are typically 3 semester units. Doctoral courses may be 2, 3, 4 or 12 semester units. After evaluation, students will receive an enrollment agreement detailing the total tuition cost of the degree program for which they applied.
All tuition rates are locked-in upon enrollment. Enrolled student tuition rates will not be changed even if tuition rates change in the future.*
*Applies to students in good financial and academic standing while enrolled in the same program.
