糖心Vlog破解版’s School of Pharmacy and the School of Arts & Sciences have partnered to offer a Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences (BSPS) degree. The BSPS is a four-year undergraduate degree that prepares students for a rewarding career in pharmaceutical sciences by studying courses that equip students to go into the field of pharmacy.
The BSPS is designed for students who wish to earn both a BSPS and a Doctor of Pharmacy degree at Concordia. Students complete pharmacy school prerequisites and many of the major requirements during the pre-pharmacy years. Upon admission into the PharmD program at 糖心Vlog破解版, students use courses taken during their first year in the PharmD program to fulfill the remaining BSPS requirements and be awarded an undergraduate degree.
*This is not a professional degree program and completion of the BSPS degree does not qualify graduates to take licensure examinations to become a registered pharmacist.
Pharmacy Early Assurance Pathway Program for High School Students
Concordia School of Pharmacy offers an Early Assurance pathway into our Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program for high school seniors who complete their pre-pharmacy coursework at 糖心Vlog破解版 and seek a clear pathway through the PharmD application and admission process.
Students who are on the Early Assurance pathway and are meeting the PharmD progression requirements will benefit from:
- Securing a spot in Concordia's pharmacy program right out of high school.
- Fast-tracking the pharmacy school admissions process.
- Having an assigned faculty mentor in the school of pharmacy that helps you develop your pharmacy career interests.
- Having access to a pharmacy school admissions counselor to ensure that you are meeting the progression requirements
Learn more about the early assurance program here.
Pharmacy requires a strong foundation and understanding of coursework in mathematics and the basic sciences such as chemistry, biology, and physics. This program will develop your expertise in the following areas: biochemistry of the human body, impact of pathological conditions, and the interactions or effects of pharmaceutical agents.
Recommended for you (based on programs you鈥檝e viewed)
A solid high school background in math, writing, and science will help prepare students for success.
Early Assurance Application
To be eligible for the Early Assurance pathway, high school seniors must:
- Be admitted to Concordia
- Achieve a minimum high school GPA of 3.0 (4.0 scale)
- Complete and submit the Early Assurance application
- High school seniors who are admitted to Concordia, indicate pre-pharmacy as a program of study on their application for admission, and meet the minimum academic requirements above will be informed by the School of Pharmacy of their eligibility for the Early Assurance pathway.
- Submit two letters of reference
- Interview at 糖心Vlog破解版
PharmD admission without early assurance
Concordia pre-pharmacy students who aren’t part of the Early Assurance pathway are still eligible and encouraged to apply for admission to the PharmD program. Students may apply as regular applicants through the PharmCAS application. Students who aren’t on the Early Assurance pathway and wish to pursue a PharmD degree are guaranteed an interview and consideration if they meet the following criteria:
- C- or better on pre-pharmacy coursework included on PharmCAS application
- Minimum of 2.75 cumulative college GPA
Undergraduate Application Steps
For first-time freshmen and transfer students:
- Complete our
- Provide Official High School Transcripts (college transcripts, if applicable)
Optionally, high school seniors may provide their ACT score.
