The 7-year pharmacy curriculum involves two segments, prepharmacy (3 years) and advanced professional (4 years). Consequently, students pay tuition rates based upon their level in the program.

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 PPHA 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 PPHA designator) have a tuition rate approximately 10% higher than regular undergraduate tuition.

The advanced professional-level course work in the program will be offered beginning Fall Semester 2012. The professional curriculum, along with its individual courses, has been developed by the School of Pharmacy and approved by the University. However, tuition rates have not yet been determined. It is anticipated that the tuition rate for this pharmacy course work will be approximately 10-15% higher than undergraduate tuition.

Financial Aid

Prepharmacy students are eligible for the same scholarships available to all undergraduate students. These scholarships may be used for the first four years of the seven year curriculum, i.e. prepharmacy plus the first professional year. Additionally, students who qualify for the preferred admission pathway may receive a prepharmacy scholarship based upon financial need and merit. Please consult the financial aid opportunities described at the Cedarville University Financial Aid website.

Professional-level pharmacy students typically rely upon three sources of financial aid for their professional education, scholarships, loans, and employment. Watch for additional information describing these options in the future.
