About This School

Los Angeles Mission College is a public institution located in Sylmar, California with approximately 8,031 undergraduate students enrolled. In-state tuition is $1,238 per year. Typical graduates earn $37,000 within 10 years of enrollment.

Los Angeles Mission College is a public community college in Los Angeles, California. It is part of the Los Angeles Community College District and is accredited by the WASC Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable community college path in the San Fernando Valley — median debt at graduation is a manageable $12,678, which is well below the national average. That said, median earnings of $37,000 a decade after enrollment are modest, so think carefully about which transfer or career pathway you pursue here, since outcomes vary significantly by program. This is a solid launching pad for students who plan to transfer to a four-year school, but less compelling as a terminal degree if your goal is a major income boost.
