What is the cost of studying for a year at Pacific College of Health and Science-California?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Pacific College's California institution was $10,760, plus $240 in required fees, for a combined published amount of $11,000. The reported undergraduate tuition and required fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $476 per credit.

Reported full-time graduate tuition was $14,835, with $240 in required fees; the part-time graduate charge was $452 per credit. These are tuition figures, not complete living-expense budgets. Books, transportation, housing, food, and any program-specific materials or clinical expenses can materially change the amount a student needs.

Financial aid also changes the picture differently for different students. In 2024-25 reporting, 35% of students received financial aid and 43% had student loans. The reported average net price for students from families earning $0-$48,000 was $52,071. Because net price can incorporate substantial living and other attendance costs, it should not be compared with tuition alone as though both measures cover the same expenses. An applicant's individualized aid offer and program-specific cost-of-attendance budget are the appropriate basis for estimating what they would need to finance.

What are the work-study opportunities at Pacific College of Health and Science-California?

Students who want to work while attending Pacific College should separate three possibilities: paid employment, Federal Work-Study, and required clinical training. Clinical hours can be essential to a health-professions degree without being a paid job.

Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package, generally requires a FAFSA, demonstrated financial need, and an available qualifying position; an award is not an automatic payment or a job guarantee. Students should ask the financial aid office whether their particular program and enrollment status qualify, then check how any available positions are posted. They should also compare job hours with the fixed class and clinical schedule before relying on wages to cover essential expenses.
