Affordability & Undergraduate Cost of Attendance Dashboard Updated

In partnership with the Financial Aid & Scholarships Office, we've updated the Affordability & Undergraduate Cost of Attendance dashboard in the Our Berkeley data digest with the latest information. This interactive dashboard contains data on the costs associated with tuition and fees, housing and food, transportation, books and supplies, and other personal expenses. It also shows average cumulative debt at graduation, as well as a new page on Berkeley's annual loan and work expectation over time.

December 8, 2021
In place of the "Undergraduate Fall Fact Sheet" that the Office of Planning & Analysis has published for the last few years, we now offer the "Of Every 100 Undergraduates" dashboard in the Our Berkeley data digest. This dashboard visualizes the percentages of undergrads in various demographic groupings, including:
- Entry type
- Gender identity
- Residency
- Age
- Race/ethnicity
- Parental education (first-generation status)
- Pell grant and other financial aid recipients
- Retention and graduation rates
- University housing status
