<p>I'm trying to pursue a career in pharmacy, and was accepted into LIU pre-pharmacy and UB. As of now my family and I are thinking about just attending to LIU (with awareness of tuition money). We talked about how hard maintaining a certain gpa is hard and how attending to a hard school can mess up your grades in your pre-requisite classes. So we agreed with LIU. LIU is a 2+4 program, so that means there is no guarantee of getting into the professional phase, but let's say I do decently well within my pre-requisites and PCAT, and now applying to pharmacy schools. I've found USC and Northeastern so far, and obviously will apply to LIU. But my question is about USC and Northeastern. I'm having trouble finding if USC and Northeastern is a 2+4 or a 0+6, and wondering if i'm able to apply to those schools after my 2 years in LIU. </p>
<p>thank you</p>

<p>“0-6” and “Early Assurance” Programs </p>
<p>Some pharmacy schools accept students immediately after they graduate from high school. Pharmacy schools that accept all or most students directly from high school are referred to as “0-6” programs because these students can complete their pre-pharmacy and professional study within six years after high school. Students enrolled in a “0-6” program who successfully complete the first two years of pre-professional study (and any other stated contingencies) are guaranteed admission into the four-year professional pharmacy degree program. Below are AACP institutions classified as “0-6” degree programs. </p>
<p>Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences - Boston
Northeastern University
Ohio Northern University
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey<br>
St. John’s University
St. Louis College of Pharmacy
The University of Findlay
University of Rhode Island
University of the Sciences in Philadelphia</p>
<p>Students enrolled in a “0-6” program who successfully complete the first two years of pre-professional study (and any other stated contingencies) are guaranteed admission into the four-year professional pharmacy degree program. If a student fails to maintain the necessary GPA or not meet other school requirements during the freshman and sophomore year, then the student may lose his/her position in the professional pharmacy degree program.</p>
<p>In addition to the “0-6” programs listed above, there are many other pharmacy colleges and schools that offer “early assurance” (also known as “early admission”) status for selected high school students. As with “0-6” programs, students who enroll under an “early assurance” program and successfully complete the first two years of pre-professional study, are guaranteed admission into the four-year professional pharmacy program. These programs are not categorized as “0-6” because the majority of students enrolled are admitted as “transfer” students after completion of at least two years of college. See Table 1 of the Pharmacy School Admission Requirements (PSAR) book.</p>

<p>So does this mean I can apply to northeastern pharmacy school even if it’s 0+6?</p>
<p>I have to apologize - when I look at those lists again, the less clear they appear. I cut and pasted those lists right off the AACP website that I cited, but when I look more closely, I see that it also shows Northeastern as BOTH a 0-6 program and an early assurance program. HOWEVER, if you go to the Northeastern website itself, it clearly states that they do NOT accept transfer students into pharmacy. Obviously, this means that Northeastern is a 0-6 program. Here’s the link to the Northeastern web-page that says that transfers into pharmacy are not accepted:
