I’m about to be a senior in high school and I’m very interested in majoring in pharmacy. Some schools that I plan to apply to are University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Connecticut at Storrs, Northeastern University, and Lehigh University. I have been trying to find information about the admissions process on their college websites but it’s difficult to find the requirements they want (GPA, SAT, and specific questions that they want me to answer).
I don’t think Lehigh has a pharmacy program. The other schools you mentioned have graduate programs. Most pharmacy schools are not direct entry from high school. If you are interested in direct entry (0-6) programs, check the AACP website.

Think about the University of Iowa and,other schools and other schools past NY, PA, MA, etc. on a U S map.
Northeastern has a 0-6 direct entry pharmacy school. Lehigh does not offer pharmacy.
@kidzncatz That link you provided has a lot of misinformation. It does not show Northeastern as having a 0-6 program. It also shows UMass Boston as having a 0-6 program when in fact they do not offer pharmacy at all. Unless “Massachusetts-Boston” refers to MCPHS in which case it is confusing.
Lehigh offers pharmaceutical chemistry.
@ChenMingYang1 But that will not allow you to become a pharmacist. It is not a professional program.
@ChenMingYang1 - Are you interested in becoming a pharmacist (PharmD) or working for a pharmaceutical company, involved with developing new drugs? Those are actually two different career tracks.
@QuietType I’m more interested in becoming a pharmacist.
U Toledo, Duquesne, Pitt, Temple have a 2+4 or 3+4 program.
Ohio Northern and Northeastern have a 0-6 program.
You usually have 2-3 years of prerequisite classes and then apply for the 4 year Pharm D program.
Some schools have Early Assurance or Conditional Admission programs based on your high school record.
As long as you satisfy the requirements of the program (GPA, PCAT score, interview, etc), you are accepted into the pharmacy program.
