Prepharmacy
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.
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.

Tuition and fees for the 2013-2014 academic year for the advanced professional, graduate-level program are listed below.
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.

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.
