    All prerequisite courses must be completed with a grade of C- or better.

    The prerequisite courses can be completed with a minimum of two years of college-level study, though many students choose to complete them over three years of undergraduate study or over four years while completing a bachelor's degree in another area. For more information, please visit: https://pharmacy.uiowa.edu/pharmd/admissions/prepharmacy_coursework

    If a candidate took a full year of high school Physics (does not need to be AP or dual credit), we will consider that prerequisite complete.

    If a candidate completes a Bachelor's Degree, we will consider Rhetoric complete. Otherwise, English Composition I and II, and a Public Speaking course will be required to fulfill Rhetoric.

    A full anatomy and physiology (A&P) sequence is required by taking one of the following options: one anatomy course and one physiology course OR a two semester course sequence called A&P I and A&P II. To ensure coverage of both A&P for all systems of the body, students may not “mix and match” courses from the first two options.

  program_description: |
    The University of Iowa's College of Pharmacy has a superb national reputation. The college is the fourth-oldest pharmacy college at a state-supported university and has been educating pharmacists since 1885. In that time, it has developed nationally and internationally recognized research programs in pharmaceutics, medicinal and natural products chemistry, clinical pharmaceutical sciences, pharmaceutical socioeconomics, and pharmacy practice and patient care. Its faculty is recognized worldwide. 

    The PharmD program is widely known for its personalized atmosphere and emphasis on individual attention - a result of its low student-to-faculty ratio - and its location on a world-class health sciences campus. It is adjacent to University of Iowa Healthcare, one of the nation's largest public university teaching hospitals. For more information, please visit: https://pharmacy.uiowa.edu/
