Yuba College is a public two-year community college that serves the greater Sacramento Valley region. It's designed for students who want to start their college journey affordably, complete general education requirements, or earn certificates and associate degrees in career fields. The campus sits in suburban Marysville, a working-class area in Northern California, and the college draws heavily from local and regional students.
Yuba enrolls about 5,735 students. In-state tuition runs $1,128 per year, making it one of the cheapest ways to start a college education in California. Out-of-state students pay $8,208 annually. These numbers make Yuba accessible to students who might otherwise struggle to afford higher education, though you should factor in books, fees, and living expenses on top of tuition.
The six-year graduation rate sits at 32.2 percent, which is lower than many four-year universities but typical for community colleges where many students attend part-time, work full-time, or transfer to four-year schools before completing a degree at Yuba. This school works best for students who are clear about wanting to knock out general education cheaply before transferring, or who are pursuing specific vocational or technical credentials.
