California Career College

What is the cost of studying for a year at California Career College?

The cost of attending California Career College depends on the specific program and length of enrollment. Applicants need a current, program-specific written cost breakdown rather than a generic annual tuition figure, especially when a nursing program includes clinical and licensing-related expenses.

Request an itemization of tuition, mandatory fees, books, uniforms, equipment, required screenings, transportation to clinical sites and any examination or licensure charges. Also ask which expenses are paid to the college and which are paid to third parties. The financial-aid offer can then be compared with the full expected cost, not tuition alone.

In 2024-25 reporting, the average grant award to undergraduate recipients was $2,564, while 91% of students in the reported loan measure used student loans. Those are group-level figures, not an individual aid estimate; the measures may also use different student populations. A personalized aid offer should show grants separately from loans and identify what the student must repay.

What are the work-study opportunities at California Career College?

Students considering work while attending California Career College should distinguish a paid job from Federal Work-Study and from required clinical training. Federal Work-Study, if offered to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through an approved job; it is not a grant paid automatically with tuition assistance.

Ask the financial-aid office whether Federal Work-Study positions are available, how eligibility and jobs are determined, and whether earnings would fit around the chosen class and clinical schedule. For ordinary part-time work, compare the employer's hours with attendance and clinical requirements. A clinical placement should not be assumed to provide wages.
