Admissions Requirements
Students may now begin applying for Fall 2010 enrollment in Jefferson's Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree program. Applicants for the PharmD program at the Jefferson School of Pharmacy must complete at least two years of pre-pharmacy coursework at an accredited institution.
There are two steps to apply.
- Apply to PharmCAS and submit required materials.
- Complete an online application for admission through PharmCAS at www.pharmcas.org
- Send PCAT scores to PharmCAS using code 104
- Deadline: March 1, 2010
- All prospective students who complete the PharmCAS application for the Jefferson School of Pharmacy are also required to complete a supplemental Jefferson application. The Jefferson Department of Admissions will send you an email with a link to our online application along with a logon id once we have downloaded your pharmacy application from PharmCAS.
Jefferson will send you a second email with a PIN to access the supplemental application.
- The Jefferson School of Pharmacy will continue to review applications until the Fall 2010 class is filled. Applications are not considered complete until the PharmCAS application (including letters of recommendation) is complete and PCAT scores are available.
