Admission to Graduate Program
The College of Pharmacy PharmD Admissions Committee reviews all applications for admission to the PharmD portion of the program. Admission to the PharmD program is not guaranteed. If admitted, students begin the PharmD curriculum in their third year. Those not admitted may choose to complete the BS degree or reapply to the PharmD program the following year.
Students officially “apply to the pathway” only after being accepted into the PharmD program. Once admitted, they enter the PharmD program in year three. Students will complete and receive their undergraduate BS degree after the second year of the PharmD program (i.e., year four of the six-year program). The PharmD degree is awarded upon completion of the fourth year of the PharmD program(i.e., year six of the Double Dawgs pathway).
