--------The Nontraditional Doctor of Pharmacy Pathway Program--------

Tuition, Fees & Financial Aid

Tuition & Fees
As of Fall 2004, the tuition and fee schedule was $300/semester hour plus $75/semester technology fee.  Therefore, tuition and fees for the entire course of study (54 hours) is estimated at $16,500-17,500 depending on the number of semesters of enrollment. Additional fees may apply (e.g., library fees). Other costs such as textbooks, videotapes, telephone, postage, Internet access, personal travel and lodging are not included in the tuition costs.

The Nontraditional Doctor of Pharmacy Pathway Program receives no state or university appropriations and must be self-supporting; therefore, tuition is subject to change based on expenses needed to run the program   The program is administered in conjunction with the Office of Continuing Education and Professional Affairs, Mercer University Southern School of Pharmacy and the Office of Postgraduate Continuing Education and Outreach, The University of Georgia College of Pharmacy.

UGA STUDENTS:   Students attending the University of Georgia must meet University System of Georgia residency requirements to qualify for instate tuition rates.  See http://www.reg.uga.edu/or.nsf/html/residency for more information on UGA's Residency Requirements.  In addition, tuition remission may not be used for this program by University System employees.

 

Financial Aid
It is likely that the income of most working pharmacists would make you ineligible for subsidized student loans, but you may be eligible for unsubsidized Stafford/Federal Direct Loans.  These loans require that interest be paid while you are in school.  If you are interested in receiving information on financial aid options, please contact one of the below offices directly.  Please note:  You must be accepted and enrolled at the institution to which you applied to be eligible.
