Planning for Educational Expenses

The Cost of Attendance is designed to assist students in planning for educational expenses throughout the academic year. While some students may incur costs that differ from the standard budget, the COA provides a consistent framework used to determine financial aid eligibility and establish borrowing limits.

2026–2027 Estimated Annual Cost of Attendance

The Cost of Attendance is an estimate of the expenses associated with the fulltime enrollment of students in a specific program of study based on residency and living arrangements. It also reflects the maximum amount of financial aid a student may be eligible to receive during an academic year. The Cost of Attendance includes estimated expenses related to the following categories:

Tuition for Florida State Pharmacy schools is at a flat yearly rate, regardless of the actual hours a student is enrolled. Tuition and Fees are estimated in the Cost of Attendance using the prior aid year’s tuition and fees. For more information about tuition, fees, and payments, please visit the Registrar's Tuition Information Page.
These are the cost estimates that the average student may incur during each year of enrollment. While actual expenses will vary among students, the estimated total cost of living will allow for a moderate standard of living. The calculation for housing expenses is one-half of the average rental rate, plus utilities for a two-bedroom apartment within a 10-mile radius of the Campus. Students are expected to share living facilities to help reduce expenses. Students should budget and plan accordingly for expenses incurred during periods of non-enrollment.
Actual prices of required texts for each class are included. In addition, this component includes an allowance for tool kits and miscellaneous supplies. The cost for a computer/laptop is not included in the standard cost of attendance but can be included on a case-by-case basis. Students should contact the financial aid office to explore this option.
The estimated cost in this category includes expenses for entertainment, laundry, personal hygiene, medical and dental care, required immunizations, screenings, and background checks. It also covers the cost of required health and disability insurance.
Commuting costs (to and from campus) are included in the transportation component. Travel costs to area hospitals and/or clinical sites are also included.
Federal loan fees are determined based on the average fees incurred by similarly classified borrowers during the previous academic year. These fees will be added if the student borrows federal loans.

Important: The Cost of Attendance is an estimate and does not represent the amount students will be billed by the University. Actual expenses vary based on individual circumstances and enrollment decisions.
