<p>Pre-pharmacy is not a degree program so most CC students are simply taking their pre-reqs (which are very similar to pre-med classes) there. They don’t transfer but instead take the PCAT exam and apply to pharmacy schools. So there is no junior year, but they start with the P1 year which is the 1st year of the PharmD professional program. If the school considers students undergrads for FA purposes, there is a question on the FAFSA that addresses that, and they remain Pell eligible until the school no longer considers them undergrads. Pharmacy students who follow this typical scenario never receive a bachelor’s degree of any kind…the PharmD is their degree. If the student decides to change drop out of the program at the end of the P2 year, he still wouldn’t have a bachelor’s degree and would probably still be Pell eligible, if he otherwise meets the criteria. Some pharmacy schools now require a bachelor’s prior to entry, so that is not the case for their students (or for career changers, etc.).</p>
