Tuition Rates
Monterey College of Law (MCL) strives to keep tuition and fees affordable while maintaining a commitment to delivering high-quality academic programs and robust student support services. MCL is an independent, nonprofit educational institution, so student tuition and fees support the faculty, staff, services, and other expenses for its programs. This page provides information about the tuition and fees that will apply to your education.
For additional financial information, see the Financial Policy, information about Tuition Payment Programs, Student Loans, and Grants, Scholarships, and the Student Handbook.
