Which 3-yr. PharmD programs are at state universities?

[sywi]

---

Members don't see this ad.

I've already checked the lists of accelerated (3-yr) PharmD programs. (The most recent-seeming list I found is below.)

But, it's kind of impossible to tell from the program names, and even the schools' websites, which are at state universities that offer reduced tuition to state residents.

Can anyone tell me which of these are state schools that do offer reduced tuition to state residents?

And/or, if my list leaves out any programs that are at state schools, please let me know.

(Also, if any of the private schools have unusually low tuitions, that would be helpful, too. I am poor. And 47 and single so no help from family. 🙂 I am trying to get into pharmacy as a second career because my first career, health journalism, pays almost nothing ((and the career itself is disappearing fast as newspapers shut down/lay everybody off.))

Much thanks in advance. And if I missed a thread that addresses this specific question, I apologize -- but I looked and i could not find one.

My list of schools:

Albany College of Pharmacy
Appalachian College of Pharmacy
Duquesne University School of Pharmacy
Ferris State University College of Pharmacy
Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine School of Pharmacy
Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences – Manchester
Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences – Worcester
Midwestern University College of Pharmacy-Glendale
Pacific University School of Pharmacy
St. Joseph College School of Pharmacy
South University School of Pharmacy
Sullivan University College of Pharmacy
University of the Pacific Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences
University of Southern Nevada College of Pharmacy

All of the information you are asking for is publicly available online. Google is your friend 🙂

OP: you have to ignor rude people...this site is here for all of us to help each other out and learn as much as you can.

LECOM has 2 campuses one in Florida and the other in Erie, PA. Florida I believe is 24,000 and is a traditional program (4yrs) and Erie is about $23,000 (3yr)

if you have any other questions post and I hope the rude comments wont continue.

Although it was a rude comment - The information that the OP was looking for is completely within his/her ability to find out for his/herself.

As I explained in my original post, I did visit the websites of all the schools, and also called them.

As I also noted in my original post, that did not help. I universally got answering machines not real people; nobody called me back; and the websites often do not say whether the schools offfer in-state tuition reductions.

I was in no way trying to make anyone here my "personal secretary"; and as a journalist I am trained and habituated to look for information myself before seeking help finding it. I only asked for help here because, as I noted in my original post, I could not find it.

I rather wish the "rude posters" -- not my phrase -- had read my OP before judging and condemning me.

Really? Have you ever heard of "wikipedia" and "google"?? Just go to www.google.com, then type the school name and the word wiki (for example: "albany college of pharmacy wiki"). The school wiki page should have the answer for you.

The OP is "older". In the first post he/she admits to being 47 so I'm willing to cut him/her some slack. He/she may not have as much experience looking up information online as the younger individuals here on SDN. So, no need to be rude or overly sarcastic. It serves no purpose. You could have simply not answered.

I of course am not willing to look up all of those schools and provide the information either lol.....but still try to be nice.

Anywho, almost all public in state schools offer reduced admission for in state students. So click on every single link on the page and see if theres a mentioning of it being public or private. Also look at the tuition/financial assistance links on the pages. There's usually a little chart that has columns labeled "in state" and " out of state". From this you will be able to see if the in state tuition is cheaper.

We are not your personal secretaries. If you want to know, visit the websites of each school.

If u don't want to help then don't respond or put rude comments. We are all here to help each other out. Clearly someone was having a horrible day.

You are exactly the type of person who should NOT be a healthcare professional.

 

[owlegrad]

Lexington is taking a lot of heat, but my initial impression was very similiar. Giving a list of links for us to go through and find out which ones have reduced tuition for in state residents seemed a little much to me too.

 

[All4MyDaughter]

None of those are state schools. All private.

 

[Rx MPLS]

Ferris State is the only program on your list that is public. It is also a four year program.

My understanding is that only private schools offer three year programs.

I checked most these schools on your list. All three year programs are private, as far as I know. The cheapest one is Lecom, Erie. Hope this answers your question.

I was thinking the same thing!!!! If you cant be nice and want to help how do you expect to transfers those skills in a profession that needs that!

 

[bp2313]

If you want to know more about Lecom, PM me 🙂

I have a question I just got accepted to LECOM fl and I wanted to know if the teachers teach you like you have never seen the material or do they expect you to know a wealth of knowledge?

Also in your opinion what is the tuffest class?

 

[bp2313]

I go to Lecom-Erie so I really don't know much about FL campus except I heard it is better (don't quote me on this). For me, year one was ok; an average student can get by w/o remembering anything from undergrads. Year 2 definitely requires some chemistry knowledge (Med Chem) + some pharmacy experience (pharmacotherapeutics). Again, since 2 programs are different I won't be able to provide you much helpful info. Best of luck to you.

oh my god $50k a year for non-resident?😱

yeah. I am perfectly fine with taking out 50k per year in loans 😉

 

[swarles]

Me too. But if tuition is 50k you'd probably end up taking out something closer to 70k a year for all other expenses right?

After a year of being in Maryland you can then apply for in-state tuition. Advice to prospective students is to apply ASAP. Once you are accepted and you know definitely you want to go to UMES, start switching everything to your new address. I have classmates that have done this with no trouble.
