Academics

Studying online: a small share study entirely online

In Fall 2023, 133 of Saint Mary's College of California's 2,775 students (5%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 70 (3%) 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 Saint Mary's College of California?
The most recently reported acceptance rate at Saint Mary's College of California is approximately 87%. 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 Saint Mary's College of California?
Saint Mary's College of California's published in-state tuition is approximately $57,803 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 Saint Mary's College of California?
Saint Mary's College of California reports total enrollment of approximately 2,755 students (undergraduate plus graduate). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
How much does Saint Mary's College of California actually cost after financial aid?
The average net price at Saint Mary's College of California is approximately $30,378 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 $19,462 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $40,581. 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.
What is the graduation rate at Saint Mary's College of California?
Saint Mary's College of California reports a graduation rate of approximately 70%. This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
How much student debt do graduates of Saint Mary's College of California have?
Students who borrowed at Saint Mary's College of California left with a median of approximately $23,691 in federal loans, and about 42% 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 much do graduates of Saint Mary's College of California earn?
Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $78,812 for students who received federal financial aid at Saint Mary's College of California. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
How should I verify final details about Saint Mary's College of California?

Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Saint Mary's College of California.
