About This School

California Institute of Arts & Technology is a private for-profit institution located in San Diego, California with approximately 14 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $34,183 per year. The graduation rate is 70%.

Worth considering if you want an unusually intimate learning environment — with only 14 undergraduate students, you'll get individualized attention that large schools simply can't match. The 70% graduation rate and 91% freshman retention are encouraging, and the median debt of just $4,750 at graduation is remarkably low for a private institution. The main concern is that as a tiny for-profit school, it offers limited campus life, alumni networks, and brand recognition, so weigh those trade-offs carefully before committing to the $34,183 annual net price.
