Please enter every REQUIRED course prerequisite. Select the subject that best matches the course content. If the program requires more than one course in the same subject (e.g., Biology I and Biology II), enter the courses separately on the form. Do NOT combine them into a single entry. AACP will use the course subjects posted on the directory pages to populate the annual "Course Prerequisite Summary" table. The number of times a course subject appears on the directory page will be equated with the number of courses required by the program in that particular subject. The information will help applicants and programs more easily compare course prerequisites across institutions. Use the text box to provide additional details about your prerequisites, such as recommended courses, alternate courses, prerequisite tracks, and other details.

PharmCAS will NOT verify that an applicant selected the correct evaluator type for your particular institution.
* If you are a non-PharmCAS institution, please ignore all references to PharmCAS and still complete this section.
Pharmacists who previously earned a bachelor's degree in pharmacy in the U.S. or abroad may choose to pursue a traditional or nontraditional post-BS Pharm.D. degree offered by a college or school of pharmacy in the United States. Pharmacists may enter a post-B.S. Pharm.D. program with advanced standing (e.g., in the P2 year). This field does NOT refer to your school's entry-level Pharm.D. degree program for students without a pharmacy degree. Most programs answer "no" to this question. If CURRENT pharmacists educated in the U.S. and/or abroad apply to the post-B.S. Pharm.D. program through PharmCAS, contact cas@aacp.org for additional instructions.
If your program is interested in enrolling in either of the PharmCAS-facilitated services below or if your program requests changes to your current participation, please contact CAS@aacp.org.
