Los Angeles Mission College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Los Angeles Mission College?

For 2024-25, reported full-time tuition was $1,196 for California residents and $10,530 for out-of-state students. Reported required fees were $42 for either group, producing tuition-and-fee figures of $1,238 and $10,572, respectively. Residency classification therefore has a major effect on the published price.

• California resident, part-time enrollment charge: $46 per credit hour in the 2024-25 figures.
• Out-of-state student, part-time enrollment charge: $359 per credit hour in the same figures.
• Reported books-and-supplies allowance: $1,089; actual spending depends on courses and materials.

Tuition is only one part of attendance cost. Housing and food, transportation, and personal expenses can be much larger, particularly for a commuter living in the Los Angeles area. The reported room-and-board estimate of $26,262 is a budgeting allowance, not a charge for college housing: Los Angeles Mission College does not operate student residences. Students should not add it to a separate estimate for the same rent and meals.

Net price estimates attempt to account for grant aid and standard attendance expenses rather than just the tuition bill. For 2024-25, the reported average net price for students from families earning $0-$48,000 was $12,673. That average is not an individual aid offer; enrollment intensity, living arrangements, residency, and aid eligibility can change what a student actually pays.

Eligible students can seek federal aid through the FAFSA or, when appropriate, California aid through the California Dream Act Application. Potential assistance includes Pell Grants, California grants and fee waivers, scholarships, and veteran education benefits. In the reported aid data, 80% of students received some form of financial aid, while 1% used student loans. Those percentages describe past recipients, not a promise of eligibility.

What are the work-study opportunities at Los Angeles Mission College?

Los Angeles Mission College students may be able to combine classes with campus employment or Federal Work-Study, subject to available positions and individual eligibility. Federal Work-Study is a financial-aid program that pays students for hours worked; it is not an automatic tuition discount or a guaranteed job.

Students seeking Work-Study should complete the appropriate financial-aid application, review their aid offer, and ask the financial aid office how eligible students apply for openings. Ordinary part-time jobs can have different hiring rules and do not require a Work-Study award.

For longer-term career planning, students can use individual or group career counseling, career-interest assessment, employer recruitment activities, and job fairs. These services can help with major exploration and a job search, but participation should not be confused with a verified employment outcome or a required internship.
