There are several pre-requisites for a pharmacy school, some of which are not within a science major. Therefore, it is especially important that the pre-pharmacy student should select a major as soon as possible and seek the B.S. degree.  Students should consult early and frequently with Dr. Pomeroy-Black in addition to their primary advisors for their majors. While the admission requirements will vary between schools, the minimum requirements set by most schools of pharmacy are:

• A minimum GPA of 3.0, with a “C” or better in all courses.
  The average GPA is 3.4-3.5.
• A minimum PCAT percentile score of 50%.
• Work experience as a pharmacy technician.
• Ethos courses with a global and/or cultural diversity focus, where applicable.
• Completion of the following courses: 

*Including Anatomy and Physiology I and II and Microbiology

**Including MATH 1114 and 2221

Students should take the PCAT (Pharmacy College Admissions Test) as early as practical.  Early admission applications are encouraged.
