Program Description

The Faculty of Pharmacy at Wayne State University have developed a contemporary curriculum for the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) program that allows interaction with patients and healthcare professionals throughout the four-year program. The Pharmacy program is located in one of the world's leading urban research universities with the reputation of training excellent healthcare professionals. We educate future pharmacists to be highly competent health care practitioners, who effectively and safely provide patient-centered care with other health care team members in diverse settings, to be leaders within the profession and to be lifelong learners. Our PharmD graduates are differentiated and sought after because of their clinical skills and ability to provide inter-professional, evidenced-based care that ensures optimal health of the patient and of the public. Specifically, our graduates are practice-ready, eager, willing to work, and prepared to work with diverse populations. Graduates of the Pharmacy professional program consistently score higher than the national and state averages on the NAPLEX (national licensing exam).

When do applicants need to complete all course prerequisites prior to enrollment (e.g. date or term)?

All science and math prerequisites — or their equivalent — must be completed by May 31 of the year for which you are applying. (For instance, to begin the program in Fall 2021, you must complete these courses by May 31, 2021.)

All non science and general education prerequisites — or their equivalent — must be completed by August 31 of the year for which you are applying. (For instance, to begin the program in Fall 2021, you must complete these courses by August 31, 2021.)

Enter any additional information regarding course prerequisites:

Applicants must earn at least a C/2.00 or higher in all prerequisite and general education courses. Due to the unique situation created by COVID-19, many institutions are allowing students to choose a Pass/No Pass option in lieu of a letter grade in the Winter 2020 semester. The program encourages applicants to receive letter grades in their prerequisite courses. P/N will be accepted for Winter 2020 grades if the grading institution's policy is a C or better to receive a Pass. If the school accepts C- or below as a Pass, students will be required to submit a letter from the instructor documenting what the grade earned would have been (in the case of WSU courses, since we can view that grade in the system, such a letter will not be required).
Students with a bachelor's degree are exempt from completing the University General Education requirements. Those who qualify under the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) policy (see www.transfercredit.wayne.edu) are exempt from all general education classes.
All science prerequisite courses must be completed within the six years prior to admission. Visit our website at: http://cphs.wayne.edu/program/pharmd-phd-admission.php

Interviews

Interview Format:

Individual applicants with two or more interviewers

A personal interview will be granted to select individuals who meet all admission requirements by established deadlines. Applicants should obtain as much information as possible about the role of pharmacists and be able to articulate it during the interview process. Interviewers are interested in how well applicants communicate, their drive to be a pharmacist, and their understanding of the pharmacy profession. Completion of the personal interview does not guarantee admission to the WSU PharmD Program.
