For more information about tuition, fees, and payments, please visit visit the Registrar's Tuition Information Page.

Housing & Food:

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.

Books & Supplies:

Actual prices of required texts for each class are obtained from the Taneja College of Pharmacy, PharmD Program. In addition, the cost of attendance 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.

Personal Expenses:

The estimated cost in this category includes the cost associated with laundry, personal hygiene, medical, dental, required immunizations, screenings, and background checks. The cost for required health and disability insurance is also included. An allocation for federal loan fees is included based on average loan fees incurred by similarly classified borrowers during the previous academic year.

Transportation:

Commuting costs (to and from campus) are included in the transportation component. Travel costs to area hospitals and/or clinical sites are also included.
