About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences enrolls 481 undergraduates. An estimated 38.9% arrived as transfers or part-time students, while 28.9% receive Pell Grants.
Both groups are large enough that neither is incidental to the campus, and each represents a major entry route. The composition suggests the student body arrives through several distinct channels.
Transfer students and Pell recipients each shape a distinct part of the undergraduate population. The campus does not revolve around one dominant entry path.
Transfer and Pell-eligible applicants should start with the cost calculator to see what they would actually pay, then read the program pages for their intended field.
At Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, students who enroll full time tend to stay and finish. 85.8% of first-year bachelor's-seeking students return for a second year, above the peer median of 74.2% for comparable institutions.
The six-year graduation rate reaches 67.5%, above the median of 54.9% for comparable institutions. For Pell recipients in the same entering class, six-year completion is 68.9%, a figure 1.4 percentage points above the overall cohort rate.
Enrolled students can expect a campus where full-time peers typically stay after the first year and finish within six years. Pell recipients complete at a higher rate than the class overall.
