Professional Division Admission Criteria
Students apply to the College's professional division upon completing the required, pre-pharmacy coursework. Whether you're pursuing the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) Program or the Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences (BSPS: non-PharmD track), the pre-pharmacy course requirements are the same for both tracks. When declaring the BSPS (non-PharmD track), you will have the option to select one of two major options: 1) Cosmetic Science and Formulation Design or 2) Drug Discovery and Design.
Admission to the professional division is competitive. Our BSPS program has a capacity of 150 students per entering class. The PharmD program has a capacity of 108 students per entering class.
Applying for the BSPS Professional Division (NON-PHARMD Track)
Students who have completed the required prerequisite coursework and have earned a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher can be evaluated for progression to the BSPS professional division. The BSPS professional division only begins in the Fall Semester of a given academic year; the professional division may not be started during a spring or summer semester.
The progression form and instructions will open by February of each year for all students who wish to begin the professional division in the Fall Semester of the same year. The BSPS prerequisites are outlined here. In the meantime, feel free to contact us with questions at cppsadvising@utoledo.edu or advising@utoledo.edu
Applying for the PharmD Professional Division
