which admission is sought. New admissions are made only in the fall semester. While students must meet a minimum GPA of 2.5
overall and in science and math courses to be eligible, the average GPA for successful applicants is much higher. Students are required
to take the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT). The School of Pharmacy accepts approximately 105 first-year professional
students each year. Students are encouraged to meet with a pharmacy advisor during their second or third semester in the pre-
pharmacy curriculum to review their academic record and prepare for the admission cycle. For detailed admission information see our
