General requirements

All Pharm.D. prerequisite courses are necessary for admission to the College of Pharmacy. The UHCOP Admissions Committee will look at an applicant's all prerequisite GPA, which includes all required courses. Applicants must receive no less than a "C" (2.0 GPA) in all prerequisite courses in order to be considered for admittance.

In addition, math and science prerequisite courses are averaged, which becomes the applicant's math/science prerequisite GPA. Both the all prerequisite GPA and math/science prerequisite GPA are extremely important for the student's application.
