| Summary: | This factsheet describes undergraduate student charges at the public universities of California. California charges its own residents less to attend its public colleges and universities than it charges nonresidents. It charges resident students systemwide fees as well as mandatory, campus-based fees to help support student services, but California has sought to avoid charging resident students for the direct cost of instruction, which it charges as "tuition" to nonresident students. For 2000-2001, the University of California charges undergraduate residents an average of $3,964 in mandatory fees, of which $3,429 is the system wide fee. This is $1,279 less than the average fee charged by the four public universities from other states with which the University of California compares itself on faculty salaries. The California State University charges resident students an average of $1,834 in mandatory fees, of which $1,428 is the systemwide fee, a total that is lower than all of the 15 public universities with which California State University compares itself in terms of faculty. Over the years, charges at both the University of California and California State University from 1977-1978 to the middle of the 1990s, when a small decline in fees began at both systems. (SLD) |
