                                Considering a degree in Bioengineering?
                                
                                These rankings show the most affordable colleges for Bioengineering majors who live in California.
                                
                                Rankings are calculated by estimating the net price at every college offering Bioengineering degrees for a "typical" middle class family living in the state of California.
                                
                                Note: Net price is the actual cost of college paid after factoring in financial aid.The net prices displayed in these rankings are College Raptor's estimates.
