Pre-Pharmacy


IMPORTANT: UCCS does not have a pharmacy program. Pre-Pharmacy Prep is not a major or a minor but a listing of prerequisite courses and recommendations needed to be eligible for admission into CU Skaggs School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, CO.

Students completing the pre-Pharmacy Prep program are advised to choose a major and  graduate with a bachelor’s degree from UCCS. A college program leading to a bachelor’s degree generally strengthens a student’s application to the program.

Other programs may have different requirements. Students should check admissions requirements for all schools to which they plan to apply. Completion of requisite coursework does not guarantee acceptance into any professional degree.

Application Information for the CU School of Pharmacy’s PharmD program, including admissions requirements, contact information, application materials, deadlines, and testing, can be found at: http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/pharmacy/Pages/SchoolofPharmacy.aspx
