Course Description:

'' The Pre-Pharmacy program at Ferris is designed to give you all the tools necessary to gain admission into the College of Pharmacy.

Upon admission to the College of Pharmacy, you will continue your studies for four years to complete the doctor of pharmacy degree.

Get a Great Job
As a professional pharmacist, you will be the most accessible member of the health care team and the most knowledgeable about the effects of drugs on people. You will serve as an essential link between the patient and the prescribing physician, advising both about drug interactions, dosages and possible side effects.

Your knowledge of drugs and drug functions will provide job opportunities as a community pharmacist, hospital pharmacist or industrial pharmacist. Other opportunities include pharmaceutical journalism, advertising, public health, research, law enforcement, pharmacy education and positions with pharmaceutical associations. Ferris graduates enjoy 100 percent job placement, and the financial awards can be abundant.

Admission Requirements
First year student admission is open to high school graduates (or equivalent) who demonstrate academic preparedness, maturity and seriousness of purpose with educational backgrounds appropriate to their chosen program of study. High school courses and grade point average, ACT composite score, and ACT reading and mathematics subscores will be considered in the admission and placement process. Transfer students must have at least 12 credits at the time of application with a minimum 2.0 overall GPA including an English and mathematics course, or they must provide their high school records and ACT scores for admission review.

Admission to the College of Pharmacy is granted to the best qualified applicants, as space permits. It is based on your Pre-Pharmacy GPA (must be at least 2.5) and the results of your Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT). The PCAT is a national, standardized test you must take about the time you apply for admission to the College of Pharmacy. Successful completion of the Pre-Pharmacy program at Ferris or another university does not guarantee admission into the College of Pharmacy.
