This program outlines the courses required by students who currently are not enrolled at the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy but who are interested in the profession of pharmacy and wish to apply to the school as transfer students. Upon satisfactory completion of both years of the program, students are eligible to apply for transfer to the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy. However, students should understand that transferring is a competitive process and many students admitted will have more than two years of college completed. Admission is not guaranteed. All requirements of the preprofessional program must be completed prior to starting the first professional year.
