Cost of Attendance Website

Explanation of Fees Website

*These numbers are projected until the Board of Trustees finalizes tuition and fees for the 2024-2025 academic year.

** 4th-year students attend and are charged for three semesters; because of the extra term of attendance, a larger tuition/ fee and living expense budget is included.

*** Students who are not considered residents of the state of Ohio are charged a Non-Resident Tuition Surcharge during their first year; during years 2-4, the charge is instead $5 per term. If you want to gain residency for tuition purposes during your first year or years 2-4 for other purposes, please work with our residency office. The $5 non-resident fee is ONLY applicable while in the PharmD program. If you switch to a different program (such as a graduate program) and have not been approved for in-state residency, your non-resident surcharge will increase to that of a non-resident student. 

**** Tuition is approved by the Board of Trustees, and you should expect a 3-5% yearly increase.
