Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable way to start your college journey — at just $8,957/year average net price and $9,500 in median debt, the financial risk is relatively low. That said, the median earnings of $39,000 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this school makes the most sense as a transfer launchpad to a four-year university rather than a final destination. If your goal is to transfer to UC Berkeley or another Cal State school, the location and cost make it a smart, strategic first step.
