Academic Requirements
- Earn minimum grade point averages
- Prerequisite science and math GPA 3.000
- Overall GPA 3.000
- A minimum GPA of 2.000 following the completion of BIO 200 , BIO 201 , BIO 303 and BIO 305 is required for retention in the Biological Sciences major.
- Each Pharmacy PharmD prerequisite course must be successfully completed with a grade equal to, or greater than, C (2.000)
- Submit an application through the Pharmacy College Application Service (PharmCAS) during the fall of the junior year, no later than October 1.
- Upon invitation, complete a formal interview.
- Selection is based on scholastic achievement, aptitude, personal qualifications, and evidence of motivation toward pharmacy. In addition to intellectual and academic competence, the Admissions Committee considers communication skills, leadership ability, community service, health care-related or research experience, and motivation for pursuing a career in pharmacy.
First-year students must declare the Biological Sciences BS/PharmD major by December 31 of their first semester. All other candidates are considered through the PharmCAS application process.
Program Honors
Students with at least a 3.600 GPA may apply to the honors program fall of the third year. Accepted students take BIO 487 spring of the junior year and the senior year is devoted to laboratory research where the student completes six credits of honors-level, biological research BIO 497 in the laboratory of a UB faculty member. The research is presented at the departmental honors symposium at the end of spring semester. BIO 497 credits count for two of the required labs for the major and all the BIO 487 /BIO 497 credits will be counted toward the total required for the major.
Students must also meet the remaining criteria outlined in the Academic Honors policy. Students who successfully complete the honors program and meet the criteria will have the appropriate notation on their official transcript.
Curricular Plan
A Curricular Plan provides a roadmap for completing this academic program and the UB Curriculum on time. Your actual plan may vary depending on point of entry to the university, course placement and/or waivers based on standardized test scores, earned alternative credit and/or college transfer credit.
