How much more expensive is out-of-state tuition vs in-state tuition at UCLA?
Guesses can be rounded to the thousands.
Hint a number between $1,000 to $100,000
UCLA in-state tuition is roughly $30,000 to $34,000 cheaper per year than out-of-state tuition, due to mandatory non-resident supplemental tuition. For 2025–26, tuition and fees are approximately $14,824 for residents versus $48,674 for non-residents.
