College Search & Selection

<p>Does anyone know of the colleges in the northeast with a 6 year pharmacy program? I talking about the schools that have 2 years of undergraduate work, followed by guaranteed admissions into the 4 year pharmacy program. I know both Albany College of Pharmacy and Northeastern have programs like this. Anyone who knows of any others, please post them and I will be very grateful!</p>

<p>Also, is it true that after 6 years are college earning a pharmD, it is possible to get a PhD in chemistry with only 2 additional years of schooling.</p>

<p>Thanks So Much,</p>

<p>D</p>

<p>Offhand, I know Rutgers has one. </p>

<p>And it would be nearly impossible to get a PhD in chemistry in only 2 years. Besides an additional semester or two of classes, it'll take 4-5 years to complete doctoral research. If you're a superstar, it'll take only 3.</p>

3

<p>University of Sciences in Philadelphia oh and I know St Johns has one and Long Island University.</p>

4

<p>So so far we have</p>

<p>Albany College Of Pharmacy
Rutgers
University of Sciences in Philadelphia
St. Johns
Nothereatern </p>

<p>If there are any left, keep them coming!</p>

<p>To answer my own question it is possible to get a PhD in pharmacy in only 2 years after completing pharmschool, not chemistry.</p>

<p>I did a little research and answered my own question. The only schools in the country with 6 year Pham programs that have guaranteed admission to the Pharm School after 2 years (as long as GPA is descent) are the following.
Albany College of Pharmacy
Duquesne University
Florida A & M University<br>
Hampton University
Massachusetts - Boston
Northeastern University
Ohio Northern University
Philadelphia College of Pharmacy
Rutgers University
St. John's University
St. Louis College of Pharmacy
University of Rhode Island
University of Texas at Austin</p>

<p>If anyone has any information about selectivity, please share. </p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>I think Michigan now has a "preferred admission" program for its pharmacy school.</p>

9

<p>It's not a 6 year program</p>

10

<p>Did you check LIU (Long Island University)? I'm pretty sure they have one?</p>

<p>Rutgers-competitive. 1400 V+M~
St. Johns-competitive 1400 V+M~ (not that great but competititve anyway)</p>

11

<p>University of Buffalo, but I hear the program weeds a lot of people out.</p>

12

<p>U of Buff doesnt have guaranteed i dotn think</p>

13

<p>are you sure about LIU?</p>

<p>I can't find anything on it, but I suck at finding things on the internet.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.uspharmd.com/school/detailed/50.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.uspharmd.com/school/detailed/50.html&lt;/a>
for LIU (6 year)</p>

<p>Thanks,
I guess I missed some. So far, this is the list of United States Colleges with 6 year PharmD programs.</p>

<p>Albany College of Pharmacy
Duquesne University
Florida A & M University
Hampton University
Long Island Unversity
Massachusetts College of Pharmacy & Health Science
Northeastern University
Ohio Northern University
Philadelphia College of Pharmacy
Rutgers University
St. John's University
St. Louis College of Pharmacy
University of Rhode Island
University of Texas at Austin</p>

<p>This leads to my next question: What are the criteria from these schools regarding admissions? What does it take to get in some of these schools? Information on pharmacy colleges at specific universities seems hard to come by. For example, Long Island University's website says (regarding pharmacy) "high school students need to have an 80 average and a 1000 on the SAT or an 85 average." Is it really that easy? I doubt it. Due to a lack of information on pharmacy schools selectivity, it is difficult to decide if a college is a match/safe/reach. Any help or information about any of the above schools regarding selectivity would be appreaciated. Also, if you are currently enrolled in, or have been accepted to one of the colleges stated above, or another 6 year PharmD programm, please give your stats so this puzzle on the selectivity of pharmacy colleges can be solved. </p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>yes LIU is that Easy. so is philadelphia. My friend going into pharm uses those as safety. Northeastern should be a matchish for her. (~1300 SATs 93/100 avrge) Rutgers and St Johns is <em>hard</em>.</p>

17

<p>Shouldn't they all be somewhat the same though?</p>

<p>I mean ... LIU is Crazy Easy to get into, why is that? </p>

<p>also, when it says that the college had PharmD, does that automatically mean that it has 0-6 pharmD?</p>

18

<p>After some research, ive heard LIU is NOT a 6 year pharm D. These are.</p>

<p>Albany College of Pharmacy
Duquesne University
Florida A & M University
Hampton University
Massachusetts - Boston
Northeastern University
Ohio Northern University
Philadelphia College of Pharmacy
Rutgers University
St. John's University
St. Louis College of Pharmacy
University of Rhode Island
University of Texas at Austin</p>

<p>I think Wayne State has one.</p>

20

<p>I'm still so confused about this...</p>

<p>I just got a huge packet/booklet from LIU and it says in it "professional programs- pharmacy" and later on it explains it and it says that it is the 6 year program</p>

<p>but then on their site it says that you're NOT guranteeed into the professional phase ... so.. that's NOT the 0-6 program ... </p>

<p>are they just trying to say that they have both the preprofessional and professional programs there but you're not guranteed into the professional??</p>
