Admission Criteria
The Pharm. D. Program Admissions Committee will consider the following factors in the selection process:
- Strength and breadth of academic record
- Type and depth of prior health care experience
- Strength of letters of evaluation
- Content of application forms and care with which they have been completed
- Quality of writing ability as demonstrated by personal narrative
- Understanding of the pharmacy profession
- Type of community activities
- Strength of on-campus personal interview
Based on the review of the application by the Pharm. D. Admissions Committee, applicants will be invited for on-campus personal interviews. The interview is required and is a strong contributing factor in the admission decision. It allows the Admissions Committee to assess essential skills and factors which may not be reflected in the application. In the interview, consideration is given to knowledge of the profession, motivation toward a career as a pharmacist, ability to think clearly and logically, self-confidence, and verbal expression of ideas.
