Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
PUC is great! Great Academics! Great Environment! Beautiful natural setting! Lots to do and lots of resources right on campus.
Emily from Bakersfield, CA
If you are at school on someone else's dollar, then you won't be worried nearly as much about bang for your buck. If you're just there to chill, PUC is a beautiful place to hang out, but you might be bored with the natural atmosphere. There is no mall close by or other entertainment of that sort, so it may be easy to get bored if your focus isn't studying. But if you work to pay your own tuition like I do, you will find that there are many ways to get your money's worth out of PUC. Make sure you plan a full class schedule, because you pay the same tuition no matter how many units you're registered for. If you have any extra time, clubs and activities are a great way to fill in the gaps. While there isn't a mall within ffourty minutes, I find that the lack of distractions helps me to focus on my studeis better.
Maggie from Riverside, CA
Due to the fact that Pacific Union College is a private school, it can be expensive. However, if you value Adventist education, it is definitely worth it, the scenery is beautiful though!
Adbni from Highland, CA
If you are a very devoted student with a high GPA it is worth your money
