PHARMACY


TRANSFER STUDENTS
 Students at community colleges or other
four-year schools should follow a similar pro-
gram. General chemistry and biology should be
completed in the first year since they are both
on the PCAT. Organic chemistry and physics
should be completed in the second year. Stu-
dents who receive an Associates of Arts or bac-
calaureate degree from a state community
college or university will be eligible for admis-
sion if they have 27 credits or fewer of courses
in English, social and behavioral sciences, and
humanities. This is in accordance with the state
articulation agreement among state community
colleges and universities. However, students
admitted to the College of Pharmacy with less
than 27 credits of these courses will be required
to obtain a total of 30 credits in order to qualify
for a degree in pharmacy. Thirty credits of
course work in English, social and behavioral
sciences, and humanities is an accreditation
standard of the American Council on Pharma-
ceutical Education.
 All applicants must have completed two
sequential courses of foreign language in sec-
ondary school or the equivalent of 8-10 semester
hours at the postsecondary level.
