Introduction to the 6-year Pharm.D. Program in English

The six-year Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) Program is designed for U.S., Canadian, and other international high school or college graduates whose goal is to receive a degree in pharmacy. This six-year Pharm. D. curriculum is designed to meet the standards and guidelines for professional programs in pharmacy defined by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE). It also adheres to the Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and to the requirements of the Council on the Recognition of Professional Qualifications.

Candidates for this program may be accepted after demonstrating a necessary record of academic achievement in Biology, Chemistry, and English; and after passing an interview with PUMS Admissions Committee. High school graduates apply for admission to the first year (first pre-pharmacy year), whereas college graduates may apply for admission to the third year (first professional year) of the Pharm. D. Program.
