California State University-East Bay

What is the cost of studying for a year at California State University-East Bay?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled approximately $7,583 for California residents: $6,084 in tuition plus $1,499 in fees. The comparable reported amount for nonresidents was approximately $21,309. These are academic-year figures, not a current-term bill; students should check the published schedule for the year they will enroll and confirm their residency classification.

Reported annual room and board was $18,534, and books and supplies averaged $1,054. Adding those figures to tuition and fees produces roughly $27,171 for a resident living on campus or $39,771 for a nonresident, before transportation and personal expenses. These examples are not official all-inclusive cost-of-attendance budgets, and students living at home or off campus will have different expenses.

Financial aid can change what a student ultimately pays. Reported average net prices - published cost after grant and scholarship aid for the students in the measure - were $7,031 for families earning up to $48,000 and $8,990 for families earning $48,001-$75,000. Individual awards can differ. Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, California grants, university scholarships and veteran education benefits by completing the FAFSA or, where appropriate, the California Dream Act Application. State and campus aid may have priority deadlines distinct from the admission deadline; loans, unlike grants, must generally be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at California State University-East Bay?

Cal State East Bay students may seek part-time campus employment, while eligible students with financial need may also be offered Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a financial-aid program that helps pay wages for qualifying jobs; it is not an automatic job assignment or a reduction applied directly to a tuition bill.

Students should check their aid offer for Work-Study eligibility and use the university's student-employment resources to find openings. Other campus jobs may be open to students without Work-Study. Separately, career services can help undergraduates explore occupations, prepare résumés, practice interviews, search job listings and meet employers at recruiting events. Internships may provide experience, but the university does not require one of every student, and access to career services does not guarantee employment.
