TUITION

ADMISSION REQUIREMENT

The School of Pharmacy offers an entry-level Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) program. In addition, the school offers an online non-traditional Pharm.D. for individuals with a previous baccalaureate degree in pharmacy.
  • Applications to the School of Pharmacy are considered only for the fall semester and the application and all transcripts must be received in the Office of Student Services by December 1 of the year prior to which admission is desired.
  • All courses to be completed during the winter, spring and/or summer terms must be listed on the application and a supplementary transcript must be sent when the work is completed.
  • Applications and transcripts should be sent directly to the School of Pharmacy.
  • Usually, a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.5 is necessary to be considered for admission. Historically, the mean grade-point average of the entering class has been 3.0 and above.
  • Thus, admission is selective and competitive and is dependent upon the number of applications received and the qualifications of the applicant pool.
  • Core courses with a seven-year limit: Sem. hrs

    Factors considered in the selection of the applicants include the overall cumulative GPA; individual grades in chemistry, biology and mathematics; a review of the academic record for trends in scholastic aptitude and improvement, interview, and short essays on the application.
  • Because communication skills are essential in the practice of pharmacy, public speaking and English composition also are important factors in the evaluation process.
  • A minimum of a "C" is required for all prepharmacy core requirements and pass/fail grades are not accepted for these courses.
  • Applicants may be requested to provide course descriptions or syllabi when it is necessary to evaluate course equivalencies. Students applying for admission must provide transcripts for all foreign and U.S. higher education institutions previously attended.
  • A certified English translation of transcripts originally in a foreign language must be provided. Transcripts from foreign institutions must also be evaluated by a professional evaluation service.
  • For more information, contact the Office of Student Services. The English Composition and Public Speaking requirements must be completed at an English speaking college or university. The transferability and acceptance of course work fulfilling the pre-pharmacy requirements will be determined on a case by case basis.
  • Credit may be granted on the basis of examinations taken through the CEEB Advanced Placement Program and the College Level Examination Program (subject examinations only).
