Transfer Student Admission
Students transferring to the University of Toledo College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences from another university must have at least a 2.5 cumulative Higher Education (HiEd) GPA, although a cumulative Higher Education GPA of at least a 3.0 is highly recommended.
- Recommended Application deadlines for transfer admission are May 1st for the fall and summer semesters and December 1st for spring semester.
Programs of Study
There are two entry-level degree options available in the College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences:
- The Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences (BSPS) program prepares students for medical school, for careers in health care or research, and for graduate education.
- The Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program prepares students to become licensed pharmacists.
Transfer students can enter the College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences as Pre-Pharmacy students. Transfer students who are interested in one of the BSPS majors and who have met the necessary pre-requisite course requirements, can apply to enter the junior year of one of the BSPS majors if they have earned a 2.5 cumulative GPA. Additionally, students who are interested in applying to the professional division of the PharmD program and who have met the necessary pre-requisite coursework, can apply directly through PharmCAS.
Transfer students can be admitted into either the first or second year of the pre-professional division, depending on the number of science-related courses already successfully completed. Transfer students can expect to matriculate for a minimum of two years for the BSPS degree or four years for the PharmD degree.
