Pharm.D. Program
Admission

For undergraduates, the College offers the six-year Doctor of Pharmacy degree for students seeking admission.

Admission to the College of Pharmacy is very competitive and is coordinated through the University Office of Admissions. Successful candidates have high grades in science and math, do well on SAT's, and often have earned advanced placement or college credit while in high school.

For an application, please contact the Office of Admissions (401) 874-7100 or click on the Admissions homepage.

Students selected for the six-year Doctor of Pharmacy program enter as freshmen, and have a guaranteed seat in the third year, (first professional year), provided they have a 2.5 qpa in pre-requisite science and math courses after three semesters with no grade < C- (this average and grade requirement needs to be maintained during the 4th semester). During the fourth semester, students inside and outside the University may compete for any open seats for the upcoming third year. Typically, a student transferring in this manner must have a strong profile in the two years of pre-requisite science and math courses. (If you feel that you meet this requirement, click on the Admissions homepage and download and application. There is no special form for Pharmacy.)

Transfer
The university is not accepting external transfer students due to the scarcity of open seats in the professional curriculum. We do not expect this situation to be changed until 2009.
