<p>I am going to be a senior in high school and I still have no real idea on what I want to do or what college I want to go to. Pharmacy has recently peeked my interest and I think I am starting to become serious about it. Can you guys please help me with information on colleges with direct programs for pharmacy (6 year programs straight out of high school). It is hard for me to find information on it and if possible can I have more detailed information on the pharmacy programs of St. Louis College of Pharmacy, Rutgers, Northeastern and University of Texas-Austin. Any information at all will help!</p>
<p>UNC chapel hill, drake U, USC, i think michigan too</p>
<p>After googling "undergrad pharmacy programs", it looks like Purdue, Ohio State, UT Austin, UIowa, and a bunch of schools I've never heard of offer some sort of pharmacy program, although I'm not sure what kind.</p>

<p>Now you can search past threads. Go to search at top of page and search pharm. there are many threads on this already. Have fun</p>
<p>I like <a href="http://www.uspharmd.com%5B/url%5D">www.uspharmd.com</a> from there you can check the sites of all the schools.</p>
<p>i'm going to be entering a pharmacy program this fall. i know that ohio northern has a 6-year program, and also that pitt offers a 6-year acceptance to those students with good enough sat scores/gpa's. there are only about 10-12 schools left that offer the 6-year (direct) acceptance anymore.</p>
<p>Look at UCONN. They have a good pharmacy program.</p>
<p>I saw that University of Michigan was mentioned, I am from Michigan and a lot of pharmacy people turn down acceptance to U of M to go to Ferris State University which is a smaller college in Michigan well know for its pharmacy programs. It might be worth you time to look into that school.</p>
<p>St. John's University in Jamaica, NY has a 5 year program for a Pharm D degree. I was accepted but had a change of heart. You better apply senior year of high school though because transferring is extremely difficult if not impossible.</p>
<p>Im entering northeastern's 6yr pharmacy program and considered many of the schools you are looking at. I ended up applying to and being accepted at: URI, UCONN, Purdue, Duquesne, Pitt, and NU...all for pharmacy/pre-pharm. Out of those schools, URI and Northeastern are the only ones that accept you directly into the program for all 6 years (well assuming u maintain a 3.0). There are other direct 6yr schools like MCP or USP or ONU, but they didnt interest me because I wanted to go to a larger school where Id have the chance to change my major to something completely different if i wanted to. At all the other schools you have to interview and maybe take the PCAT and a large portion of pre-pharmacy students never make the cut.</p>
<p>about northeastern pharmacy:
-they accepted 140 people and have an incoming class of about 120
- they said @ orientation that the avg GPA of this yrs pharm class was "over a 1300" but wouldnt give an exact number
-you need a 2.7 to stay in the program but a 3.0 to keep scholarship $$
-co-ops are required but are only 4months (unlike business and engineers which have 6mo co-op) and you are required to do one in retail and in hospital settings... and they count towards intern hrs
-AP credit is given for scores of 4 and 5</p>
<p>I'm planning on studying pharmacy also. here are some colleges I've been looking at: </p>
<p>University of Pitt (PA)
Duquesne (PA)
Rutgers University (NJ)
Northeastern University (MA)
University of Science in philadelphia (PA)
Massachusetts college of pharmacy and health science (MA)
Wilkes University (PA)
Temple University (PA)</p>
<p>I think all of these schools offer the 6 year pharmacy program with the exception of pitt. they offer conditional acceptance to some students, if they maintain a 3.0, they are guaranteed seats to pitt's pharmacy school.</p>
<p>duquesne changed their program this year... they are now a 2+4 school.. you must apply for a spot after 2 years</p>
<p>and i looked into temple but i do not believe they are 0-6</p>
<p>I noticed that this is one of the very few pharmacy threads, so thanx for the help guys</p>
