The Doctor of Pharmacy degree program is designed for students who wish to qualify for the several career opportunities available to licensed pharmacists. If you have no previous work in a U. S. college of pharmacy, you will be considered for admission to the first year of the four-year professional program. If you have completed work in a college of pharmacy, including having earned a baccalaureate degree in pharmacy, you may be considered for admission at advanced levels depending upon your qualifications and the availability of places at a given class level.
The Bachelor of Science degree programs are designed for students who are interested in employment in the pharmaceutical industry or who wish to qualify for graduate work in pharmaceutically-related fields. Graduates of these bachelor degree programs are not eligible for licensure as a pharmacist. These degrees may be completed in two additional years beyond the preparatory requirements described above.
Applicants whose native language is not English must demonstrate proficiency in speaking and writing English with an acceptable score on the Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB), including the Oral Interview, or the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), including the Test of Spoken English (TSE). Minimum scores of 85 on the MELAB or 600 on the TOEFL are necessary.
