California State University-Dominguez Hills

What is the cost of studying for a year at California State University-Dominguez Hills?

For 2024-25 IPEDS reporting, average full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled approximately $7,454 for California residents and $20,054 for nonresidents. These totals combine the reported tuition and required-fee components for that reporting year; a current student bill may differ as CSU and campus charges change.

• California-resident undergraduate tuition: $6,084; required fees: $1,370.
• Nonresident undergraduate tuition: $18,684; required fees: $1,370.
• Reported room and board: $19,182; books and supplies: $1,180.

Room and board is a planning estimate, not an amount every student pays to the university. Transportation, personal expenses, and housing choices also affect a full annual budget. Nonresident students should verify how the applicable tuition supplement is calculated for their enrollment.

Net price estimates the cost remaining after grant and scholarship aid for a defined student group; it is not the published price or a personal aid offer. In the same reporting data, the average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $8,090. A student's actual cost depends on residency, living arrangements, enrollment, and financial aid eligibility.

What are the work-study opportunities at California State University-Dominguez Hills?

CSUDH students may find part-time work through campus positions, and eligible students may receive Federal Work-Study as part of a financial aid offer. Work-Study is permission to earn up to an awarded amount in an eligible job; it is not money paid automatically at the start of a term.

Federal Work-Study generally requires financial need and a completed FAFSA, as well as an available position. Students without a Work-Study award can still look for regular campus jobs, which have different funding and eligibility rules. The university's career services can also support searches for internships and other experience related to a major. Students should distinguish a paid job, an academic internship, and financial aid when comparing how each fits their schedule and budget.
