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 three pathways that can lead to guaranteed admission into Pacific's Doctor of Pharmacy program. Five-year (2+3), Pre-Pharmacy/Pharm.D. Six-year (3+3), Pre-Pharmacy/Pharm.D. Seven-Year (4+3), Bachelor's/Pharm.D. The program requirements include passing courses taken in sequence at Pacific, meeting minimum GPAs 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.
