Pharmacy Course Descriptions Appendix Tuition Cost The seven-year pharmacy curriculum involves two segments, prepharmacy (three years) and advanced professional (four years). Consequently, students pay tuition rates based upon their level in the program. Prepharmacy Students who enrolled at the University beginning fall semester 2010 and thereafter pay “block tuition,” i.e., an amount allowing them to take between 12 and 17 credits. Prepharmacy courses (those with a PPHR designator) may be taken as a part of this block and are covered by the block tuition charge. Students who enrolled at the University prior to fall semester 2010 pay tuition on a per credit basis. Prepharmacy courses (those with a PPHR designator) have a tuition rate approximately 10 percent higher than regular undergraduate tuition. Professional Program The advanced professional graduate-level course work in the program will be offered beginning fall semester 2012. The Estimated Cost of Attendance equals Basic Costs + Variable Costs. These are estimates and may vary. Prior to each term, a student will receive a billing invoice, generated from the cashiers office, based upon enrollment information at that time.
