The five most affordable ACPE-accredited pharmacy schools by published resident tuition in the 2025 data are Florida A&M University College of Pharmacy ($5,464), University of Montana Skaggs School of Pharmacy ($6,408), University of Toledo College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences ($8,715), Purdue University College of Pharmacy ($9,718), and Texas A&M Irma Lerma Rangel School of Pharmacy ($9,846). These are annual resident (in-state) figures in US dollars, not total cost of attendance, and most of the cheapest programmes are public schools whose non-resident rate is substantially higher.
Which pharmacy schools are the most expensive?
The five highest published tuitions among ACPE-accredited pharmacy schools in the 2025 data are Chapman University School of Pharmacy ($94,611), University of the Pacific Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy ($86,484), West Coast University School of Pharmacy ($77,672), Duquesne University School of Pharmacy ($72,818), and Midwestern University College of Pharmacy (Glendale) ($72,608), quoted as annual resident tuition in US dollars. Sticker price is a poor guide to what a given applicant pays — schools with the highest published tuition often discount most heavily through merit scholarships, so compare offers, not list prices.
How much does pharmacy school cost in 2025?
Annual tuition at ACPE-accredited pharmacy schools ranges from approximately $25,000 at the lowest in-state public programmes to over $75,000 at the most expensive private institutions. AdmitBase publishes both in-state (resident) and out-of-state (non-resident) tuition for every pharmacy school in the table below.
What is the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition?
Public pharmacy schools typically charge significantly lower tuition to state residents than to out-of-state applicants. The differential can exceed $30,000 per year. Private programmes generally charge a single tuition rate regardless of residency. Where AdmitBase has both values, both are displayed.
Does tuition include living expenses?
No. Tuition is the published price of instruction only. Total cost of attendance — which includes housing, food, books, fees, and health insurance — typically adds $20,000–$35,000 per year on top of tuition, depending on the city. Each pharmacy school publishes its own estimated cost of attendance, which is the figure a loan is sized against.
Are scholarships and grants common at pharmacy schools?
Scholarship availability varies widely. Many pharmacy schools award merit scholarships to applicants whose GPA exceeds the school's 75th-percentile median. Some programmes are need-blind; others meet full demonstrated need. AdmitBase publishes scholarship and grant data when a school reports it in its AACP Institutional Research disclosure.
