With an average net price of just $5,541 per year and median debt at graduation of only $7,250, this is one of the most affordable paths to a California education — especially if you're planning to transfer to a UC or CSU. The main thing to weigh honestly is that median earnings sit at $42,800 ten years out, which is modest and likely reflects the mix of students who transfer, complete certificates, or stop short of a degree. Worth considering if cost is a priority and you have a clear plan, but go in with intention — the value here depends heavily on what you do next.
