This page is designed for guidance counselors or Pre-Health Advisors assisting students with an interest in pharmacy. Applicants should be encouraged to submit their applications early in the cycle in order to optimize their opportunity for admission, scholarships, and receive invitations to participate in Jefferson College of Pharmacy (JCP) events.
High school students interested in Pharmacy should consider the Health Sciences Pre-Pharmacy program options which allow students to earn their prerequisites at the East Falls Campus in two or three years. After completing the pre-professional coursework, students who have met pharmacy admission criteria will have a guaranteed interview for the competitive graduate pharmacy program at Jefferson College of Pharmacy on our Center City Campus.
