Professional Program Expenses

There are additional costs associated with professional program courses and experiences. An outline of those costs will be distributed to you before the beginning of each academic year. Financial aid may be used to cover a portion or all of these costs.

University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis has a “one fee” approach to annual student fees wherein a single student fee is assessed to cover costs in a range of areas not covered under tuition, room and board charges.

These areas include but are not limited to orientation and graduation, student activities and cultural enrichment and laboratory expenses.

The Annual Student Fee does not include additional expenses that vary based on options chosen by the student (i.e., housing, parking, etc.).

UHSP offers a number of meal plans and rooming options to meet the needs and budgets of our students. Review the floor plans and amenities you’ll find in our graduate residence hall.
