Tuition, Fees, and Other Costs

Tuition: Tuition per credit hour for the 2008-2009 academic year is $454 for Colorado residents and $499 for non-residents. New tuition rates are established each spring, and go into effect with summer classes. Many employers offer a tuition reimbursement benefit that can be applied to the costs of professional education programs. Tax benefits (life long learning credit) may also apply. All tuition and fees are in US dollars.

Fees: A one-time matriculation fee of $140 is required of any student enrolling for classes at the University of Colorado for the first time.

A computer technology fee of $65 per course helps defray the costs of delivering courses online, and a $75 academic support fee is assessed each semester. There is a $110 APPE fee, which is charged for each advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) or rotation, in which you enroll.

Credit by challenge fees are increased to $650 per challenge. Please anticipate continued substantial escalation in these fees over the next 2-3 years. This component of our curriculum is under-funded; current fees are not covering expenses.

Other Costs: Textbook requirements are determined by individual instructors, but are limited, since much of the required instructional materials will be provided online. Textbooks may be ordered online through the University of Colorado Denver bookstore. You may incur additional costs related to the purchase of computer equipment, software, a printer, printer cartridges and paper, and Internet connectivity.

See Tuition and Fees for more details, including refund information.
