Citizenship:  In order to be admitted, an applicant must be a U.S. citizen, possess a U.S. Permanent Resident Visa, or have been granted asylum status. Proof of eligibility is required for non-U.S. citizens.

Prerequisite Coursework:  The completion of at least 63 semester hours of specified undergraduate coursework is required for admission. The coursework must be completed at a college or university that is accredited by a regional accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education. Courses for which the applicant earned a grade less than C- will NOT be utilized to satisfy prerequisites.

Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT):  All applicants are required to report PCAT scores via PharmCAS (code 104). The PCAT must be taken within 3 years of the application deadline (January 2007 - January 2010).

Letters of Reference:  Applicants are required to submit two letters of reference through PharmCAS (refer to PharmCAS for instructions).

• One letter must be from a faculty member who has taught the applicant (biology, chemistry, physics or math recommended) or a pre-professional advisor or committee at the applicant’s academic institution.

• The second letter may be from a source of the applicant’s choosing; however, letters from family members will not be accepted. Applicants are encouraged to submit letters from an individual capable of attesting to the applicant’s potential as a future health care professional. Letters from employers, especially if the employer is a pharmacist, are strongly encouraged.

Interview:  An in-person interview is required. Only selected applicants will be invited to interview (all related expenses are the sole responsibility of the applicant). An invitation to interview does not guarantee admission or imply any specific action on the part of the Admissions Committee.
