| Curriculum | UB’s innovative curriculum is experiential, taking the lessons of the classroom and laboratory into real-world settings, where students develop crucial leadership skills and make tangible contributions to their field. Students immerse themselves in clinical training in a variety of settings, including hospitals, long term care (LTC), health maintenance organizations (HMOs), hospice care, and urban and rural community health centers. Whether it’s required study in the emerging field of pharmacogenomics or access to the university’s Dell supercomputer cluster, UB SoPPS students’ training and expertise gives them a competitive advantage as they enter the competitive workforce.

| Additional Requirements | All regular applicants must successfully complete all prerequisite courses with a grade equal to or greater than “C-” by the spring semester prior to fall admission and within five years preceding admission. Applicants may complete their prerequisites at UB and then apply to the Pharm.D. program, or they may complete their prerequisites at another accredited institution. The initial application is completed through Pharmacy College Application Service (PharmCAS) for all applicants except Early Assurance students (available for incoming freshmen who enter UB directly from high school as intended pharmacy majors: http://pharmacy.buffalo.edu/pages/36/ Early-AssurancePre-Pharmacy.html). This application is followed by a Supplemental Admissions Application and Supplemental Admissions Application Fee, which is sent after receipt of the PharmCAS application. The Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) is a requirement for admission for all PharmCAS applicants. Selection is based on scholastic achievement, aptitude, personal qualifications, and evidence of motivation toward pharmacy. These are judged from the college record, grade point average, the PCAT, letters of reference and evaluation, a supplemental application, and a personal interview. In addition to intellectual and academic competence, the School’s Admissions Committee considers communication skills, leadership ability, community service, health care-related or research experience, and motivation for pursuing a career in pharmacy. |
