MCPHS University (Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences) is a private institution. Founded in 1823, it specializes in healthcare and life sciences education. Unlike public universities, which receive state funding, MCPHS operates independently and relies on tuition, donations, and private grants. It has campuses in Boston, Worcester, and Manchester, offering undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. As a private university, MCPHS sets its own tuition rates and admission policies, often emphasizing smaller class sizes and specialized curricula tailored to healthcare careers.
