The real 4-year cost of American Jewish University in California
Published tuition and required fees at American Jewish University went from $22,352 in 2008 to $10,596 in 2023, but it moved in large steps rather than a steady climb. Projecting that pattern forward would overstate the cost, so we use a national average of 2.6% a year instead.
Read with care: this school's history shows large jumps in published price, so a smooth projection may not hold.
