Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences

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

MCPHS is a private institution, and the reported 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees are the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition and fees are only part of the annual expense; housing, food, books, transportation, and personal costs also affect what a student needs to finance.

• 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition: $39,240.
• 2024-25 required undergraduate fees: $1,290.
• Reported annual room and board charges: $23,802.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $838.

Adding those reported amounts produces approximately $65,170 before transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific costs. It is an illustrative sum, not an official individualized cost-of-attendance budget. Graduate tuition, part-time enrollment, clinical expenses, and living arrangements can change the calculation; published rates should be checked for the year a student will actually enroll.

Grants and scholarships can reduce the published price, while loans must generally be repaid. In reported undergraduate aid figures, all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, and 67% had student loans. Average net prices for the reported income groups ranged from $36,228 for families earning up to $48,000 to $43,470 for families earning above $110,000. Those are averages after applicable grant aid, not quotes for individual households. Eligible students can investigate federal and state grants, institutional scholarships, federal loans, and military education benefits through MCPHS financial aid procedures; an actual aid offer is the sounder basis for comparing colleges.

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

Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package, is an opportunity to earn wages through approved employment - not a grant paid automatically against the tuition bill. Eligibility generally depends on financial need and aid-program rules, and an award does not by itself secure a job.

Students can also ask about campus jobs that are not funded through Federal Work-Study. They should check where positions are posted, whether openings are available at their campus, expected weekly hours, and how work can fit around labs or clinical placements. A paid student job, an academic internship, and a clinical rotation serve different purposes and may have different eligibility and compensation rules.

MCPHS career support is a related but separate resource. Reported services include individual career counseling for undergraduates, résumé help, interview workshops, job fairs, on-campus employer recruitment, and alumni networking opportunities. Students seeking career-related work can use those services without treating them as a promise of an internship or employment.
