Non-bachelor’s degree requirements

CUW’s School of Pharmacy is proud to admit students both with and without a previous bachelor’s degree.

For students beginning in Fall 2018 or later

For PharmD students without a previous bachelor’s degree who complete their prerequisites outside of CUW, there are no additional core curriculum requirements.  All graduation requirements are included in the pharmacy curriculum.

For students without a previous bachelor’s degree who complete their prerequisites at CUW and do not intend to complete a Bachelor’s degree, the University requires completion of the common core prior to graduation.  These courses will typically also serve as pre-pharmacy general elective credits.  See the common core description in our course catalog for more information.

For students without a previous bachelor’s degree who complete their prerequisites at CUW and intend to complete a Bachelor’s degree at CUW prior to or during their PharmD studies, the University requires completion of the full core curriculum to graduate with a Bachelor’s degree.  See the core curriculum description in our course catalog for more information.

For students who began prior to Fall 2018

For students without a previous bachelor’s degree who transfer into CUW to begin their Doctor of Pharmacy studies, the University requires two core theology courses be completed either in traditional classroom settings or online prior to graduation. These are included in the usual tuition for the PharmD program and present no additional cost to the student.

For students without a previous bachelor’s degree who complete their prerequisites at CUW, the University requires completion of the common core prior to graduation-again at no additional cost once a PharmD student. See the common core description in our course catalog for more information.

Please contact the School of Pharmacy admissions staff with any questions about the pre-pharmacy or PharmD course requirements.
