Academics
Studying online: a substantial share study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 19 of California Miramar University's 222 students (9%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 203 (91%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.
Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

- What is the acceptance rate at California Miramar University?
- The most recently reported acceptance rate at California Miramar University is approximately 66%. Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality. CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.
- What is the tuition at California Miramar University?
- California Miramar University's published in-state tuition is approximately $12,442 per year. This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
- How many students attend California Miramar University?
- California Miramar University reports total enrollment of approximately 222 students (undergraduate plus graduate). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- How much does California Miramar University actually cost after financial aid?
- The average net price at California Miramar University is approximately $12,480 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $9,131 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $17,467. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
- How much student debt do graduates of California Miramar University have?
- Students who borrowed at California Miramar University left with a median of approximately $31,000 in federal loans, and about 48% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
- How should I verify final details about California Miramar University?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with California Miramar University.
