| Program Description | The Pre-Pharmacy Advantage Program at the University of the Pacific gives first-time freshmen the opportunity to complete their undergraduate requirements in the same environment as their professional pharmacy studies. Undergraduate science course work is tailored to a pre-pharmacy curriculum and students receive advising directly from pharmacy faculty. The Pre-Pharmacy Advantage Program offers freshmen two pathways that can lead to guaranteed admission into Pacific's Doctor of Pharmacy program: Five-year (2+3) Pre-Pharmacy/PharmD and Six-year (3+3) Pre-Pharmacy/PharmD. The program requirements include passing courses taken in sequence at Pacific, meeting minimum GPAs, submission of an advancement application and passing a formal pharmacy interview (which includes a writing sample). The university minimum GPA requirement needed as part of advancing from any of these Pre-Pharmacy Advantage Programs into our Professional Pharmacy Program is 3.00* overall and 2.70* in selected math/science courses. *Pre-Pharmacy Advantage students must follow the published program requirements based on their admit year. |
