Graduate Student Cost of Attendance

At California State University, Long Beach, we are committed to helping students and families plan for the cost of a college education. The Cost of Attendance (COA) provides an estimate of the total expenses a student may incur during an academic year, including tuition and fees, housing, food, transportation, and personal costs.

These estimates are based on typical student expenses, but your actual costs will vary depending on your program, residency status, and personal choices. The COA is used to determine financial aid eligibility and can help you build a realistic financial plan.
