CurriculumThe professional program in pharmacy is a 6
year curriculum culminating in the Pharm.D.
degree. The plan of study includes a 2 year
pre-pharmacy curriculum focused on the
science and mathematical foundation necessary
to understand how the body works and
responds to disease and its treatment. A core
of humanities, social science and multicultural
studies is also part of the early curricular
plan so that the graduate has an enlightened
view of his/her role in society. The professional
division program of study focuses on
biochemistry, microbiology, immunology
and the design of chemicals that comprise
today’s medicines. The study of pharmacology
and pharmaceutics provides insight on
how drugs work in the body and the most
effective way to deliver drugs into the body.
The curriculum integrates the administrative
and clinical sciences with the pharmaceutical
sciences preparing the student for providing
effective patient care in a variety of practice
settings. Proficiency in physical assessment,
drug informatics, communications, writing
and presentation skills is also emphasized.
Introductory pharmacy practice experiences
are incorporated into the first 3 years of the
professional curriculum. The program is
capped off with a 2 semester advanced experiential
component that offers training in
a variety of practice settings. Completion of
the program qualifies the student to sit for the
pharmacist licensure examination.
The College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical
Sciences offers a 4 year B.S. in Pharmaceutical
Sciences (BSPS) degree that prepares students
for positions in management, pharmaceutical
industry, forensic and research laboratories,
and for graduate study. Current majors in the
BSPS program include medicinal and biological
chemistry, pharmaceutics, pharmacology/
toxicology, and pharmacy administration.
An internship is required in all majors. The
College also offers the M.S. in Pharmaceutical
Sciences (with focuses of Industrial Pharmacy,
Pharmacy Administration or Pharmacology/
Toxicology) degree and the M.S.
and Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry degrees.
Additional RequirementsAdmission to UT is coordinated by the Office
of Undergraduate Admissions located
in Rocket Hall 1300. All applications and
accompanying material for admissions
should be addressed to: The University of
Toledo, Office of Undergraduate Admissions,

to December 1. UT requires submission of
ACT/SAT scores and completion of specific
college preparatory curriculum course
work to be considered for admission. The
minimum academic core requirements are: 4
years/units of English; 3 years/units of natural
science; 3 years/units of social science; 3 years
/units of math (including algebra I and II and
geometry or equivalent). Additionally, recommended
courses include: physics and advanced
mathematics, such as trigonometry or calculus. Computer proficiency is expected.
Students who are Ohio residents and graduated
from an accredited Ohio high school
will be admitted as entering freshmen to the
College preprofessional division as long as
they meet the following requirements: minimum
cumulative GPA of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale
or a composite ACT score of 20 or combined
SAT score of 950. Out-of-state students must
have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 on a
4.0 scale and a composite ACT score of 20 or
combined SAT score of 950 to be admitted to
the preprofessional division.
Transfer students may apply up to 10 months
prior to the beginning of the semester in
which admission is sought and must have
a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.7 on a 4.0
scale for admission to the first or second preprofessional
years. Students with course work
from non-Ohio institutions will be evaluated
on an individual basis. Transfer applications
for fall admission must be received by May 1.
Admission to the professional division of
College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical
Sciences programs requires formal application
and is based on completion of general
chemistry, organic chemistry, biology,
functional anatomy and pathophysiology,
the mathematics requirement, the physics
requirement and successful completion of
a minimum of 44 semester hours of coursework.
Attainment of a cumulative and science
GPA of 2.7 is required for consideration. No
PCAT is required and internal applicants
only are considered (a student must take at
least 16 credit hours at UT in order to qualify
as an internal candidate). In addition to science
and cumulative GPA, a personal essay
and interview are evaluated in determining
admission to the professional division of the
Pharm.D. program. The top 108 applicants
are selected for the Pharm.D. program and
the top 90 for the BSPS program.
Effective with the Fall 2012 professional division
admissions cycle, a select group of up
to 5 Undergraduates With Degree (UWDs)
may be admitted directly to the professional
division of the Pharm.D. program.
Please visit the website for a full listing of
requirements. Applicants will be required to
submit an application form and an essay. A
personal interview will be conducted with
select candidates.
Academically exceptional high school graduates
may be offered contingent admission
to the professional program. Automatic
admission to the first professional year will
be dependent upon successful completion of
the preprofessional years, while maintaining
at least a 3.5 cumulative and science GPA.
To be eligible for contingent admission,
students must submit a UT application and
transcripts by December 1st of their senior
year, and have earned at least a 3.75 GPA on
a 4.0 scale, as well as a 29 ACT or 1300 SAT
composite score. Upon receipt of a student’s
completed admission application, additional

are conducted, final notification of contingent
admit status will occur mid-March.
