The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $5,671/year after aid and a median debt of only $11,750 at graduation, this is one of the more affordable paths to a bachelor's degree in California, which matters enormously for students from the Central Valley families this school largely serves. The 58% graduation rate is a real concern, though — it means roughly 4 in 10 students who start here don't finish, so you'd want to honestly assess your own support system and academic preparedness before enrolling. Worth considering if cost is your primary constraint and you're a self-motivated student, but look into which specific programs have stronger completion numbers before committing.
