About This School

California College of Music is a private for-profit institution located in Pasadena, California with approximately 7 undergraduate students enrolled. The school is moderately selective, accepting approximately 47% of applicants. The average net price after financial aid is $18,922 per year.

The numbers tell a concerning story here — with only 7 undergraduate students enrolled, this is an exceptionally small program that raises real questions about campus community, resources, and long-term institutional stability. At $18,922 per year after aid, the cost isn't unreasonable for a private music school, but the for-profit status warrants extra scrutiny around accreditation, credit transferability, and student outcomes before committing. Worth considering only if you've visited in person, spoken directly with current students, and confirmed the program aligns with a specific, practical career path in music.
