Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences

What is the cost of studying for a year at Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences?

ACPHS is a private college, and its reported 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition was $40,200 for both New York residents and out-of-state students. Required undergraduate fees added $925. Those published charges are a starting point, not the amount every student ultimately pays.

• Reported 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $41,125 combined.
• Reported typical annual room and board: $13,100 combined.
• Tuition, required fees, and typical room and board together: $54,225 before books, transportation and personal expenses.

Graduate and professional-program prices require a separate check; the reported full-time graduate tuition figure was $46,500, with required fees reported separately. Part-time students may face per-credit charges. Applicants should use the price schedule for their intended degree and entry year rather than applying an undergraduate annual figure to a PharmD or graduate plan.

Financial aid can substantially change the bill, but borrowing is not a discount. In 2024-25 aid reporting, the average grant award to undergraduate recipients was $22,588, and 83% of students in the reported aid population had student loans. Reported average net prices also varied by family income; for families earning up to $48,000, the figure was $22,566. Net price is an average after grants and scholarships, not an individualized quote. Eligible students should complete the FAFSA and review federal and New York State aid, ACPHS scholarships, loan terms and the college's own cost-of-attendance estimate.

What are the work-study opportunities at Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences?

Students considering work during college should distinguish Federal Work-Study from other part-time employment. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid awarded through the financial-aid process; receiving an award does not itself place a student in a job or pay the full award in advance.

On-campus jobs, qualifying off-campus positions and career-related work can have different hiring procedures and pay arrangements. Applicants should ask ACPHS financial aid whether they qualify for Work-Study and where openings are posted, then ask the hiring office about schedules. For a laboratory or clinical program, the practical question is whether work hours fit required classes, rotations and travel. Internships and professional placements may also serve academic purposes without being paid student jobs.
