Introduction

At California College of Music, we believe that access to an excellent college music education should be made available to everyone, and we are proud to be one of the most affordable private music colleges in California. Comparable schools often charge more than $40,000 per year for tuition alone. In order to help alleviate the student debt crisis and create a society which includes more economically empowered musicians, California College of Music has set tuition costs that are among the lowest available for a high-quality private college music education.

BASE TUITION $5,700 per quarter

CCM also provides an equal opportunity for all applicants to apply for institutional awards, which can significantly bring down the cost of tuition. Click here to learn more about our Financial Support Options
