About This School

California Miramar University is a private for-profit institution located in San Diego, California with approximately 135 undergraduate students enrolled. Admissions are highly selective, with an acceptance rate of 18%. The average net price after financial aid is $12,480 per year. The graduation rate is 50%.

The numbers here are deeply concerning — a 0% graduation rate and a 44% freshman retention rate mean most students who enroll never finish, which makes any investment of time or money a serious risk. The relatively low net price of $11,007/year and modest median debt of $12,664 may look appealing on the surface, but those figures mean little if students aren't completing degrees. Until this school demonstrates it can actually get students across the finish line, it's very hard to recommend over nearly any other option in San Diego or beyond.
