Hey everyone,
I was recently accepted to the PharmD. program. Looking at the sample curriculum, I would have to take summer classes to complete the program. Will that mean more tuition charged for that year? I have scholarship and some aid would that cover summer classes also?
Summer tuition is typically half the tuition of a full semester. For most students, summer sessions take the place of co-op semesters and you do the same 8 semesters of classes in total over the course of your 4-5 years (although - one semester is taken as 2 summer sessions). Since PharmD is a longer program the theory will hold (summer classes take the place of a half regular semester of classes) but the details will most likely be different (how many semesters of classes do you need, how do co-ops fit in, how many credits/years is the program, etc.)
Scholarship money is usually applied to the summer at the same rate of 50% - so when you get 8 semesters of a dean’s scholarship (as an example) - you might use one of those semesters to cover 2 summer semesters.
@kiddie Thank you so much!
@kiddie Northeastern grants will apply also?
Don’t know about grants and other financial aid - I would think they would work the same but I have no experience with them.
Yes, need based grants will be applied to summer sessions, up to the 8 semester limit (10 for Pharm.D. and D.P.T)
