Admissions Criteria and Academic Prerequisites

The ETSU College of Pharmacy participates in PharmCAS (Pharmacy College Application Service), a centralized application service provided by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) to colleges and schools of pharmacy.  PharmCAS offers the convenience of one general application for multiple doctor of pharmacy degree programs.  PharmCAS is currently accepting applications for the fall 2008 entering class.

  • Step 1: Complete and submit the online PharmCAS application
    - PharmCAS application
  • Step 2: Complete and submit the online ETSU College of Pharmacy supplemental application
    - ETSU College of Pharmacy Supplemental Application

  • PharmCAS application (including all required PharmCAS information and payment)
  • At least two letters of recommendation, as specified in our admissions information
