About This School

Crafton Hills College is a public institution located in Yucaipa, California with approximately 5,687 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $11,331 per year. The graduation rate is 31%, and the typical graduate earns $39,000 within 10 years of enrollment.

Crafton Hills College (CHC) is a public community college in Yucaipa, California. CHC is part of the California Community College system. It offers associate degrees and career and technical certificates. Since its opening in 1972, more than 200,000 people have attended Crafton Hills and the college now serves approximately 6,500 students each semester with day, evening, and online classes.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable, smaller community college experience in the Inland Empire — with just over 5,000 undergrads, you'll get a less overwhelming environment than larger campuses. The honest concern is the median earnings figure: graduates are pulling in around $39,000 ten years out, which is modest and worth factoring in if you're taking on any debt to attend. This school makes the most sense as a cost-effective transfer pathway to a four-year university rather than a terminal degree destination.
