<p>The California CC->UC/CSU route is probably a better model, since it is much less expensive to the student. The PSU branch campuses appear to be mostly like CCs that cost as much as four year schools. At $518 per credit for PA residents, their tuition is greater than that of the California CCs’ tuition of $46 per credit in-state and $259 per credit out-of-state.</p>
