MCPHS University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 85%. The average net price after financial aid is $39,545 per year.

Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS) is a private university focused on health- and life-sciences education, with campuses in Boston, Worcester, Massachusetts, and Manchester, New Hampshire, as well as online programs. The university provides traditional and accelerated programs of study focused on professional education in pharmacy and the health sciences.
Worth considering if you're serious about a health sciences career — the median earnings of $106,500 a decade out are strong, and the relatively low median debt of $25,000 makes the return on investment look solid. That said, the 63% graduation rate is a real concern: more than one in three students who start here don't finish, which is worth asking the school about directly before committing.
