All pre-professional requirements not completed prior to admission to the SWOSU professional Doctor of Pharmacy program must be completed within one calendar year of the date of admission.

Selection for admission to the professional Doctor of Pharmacy program in the College of Pharmacy is competitive. The Admissions Committee of the SWOSU College of Pharmacy must rely heavily on objective data, particularly science and mathematics grade average, overall grade average, ACT (American College Test) or SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) and PCAT (Pharmacy College Admission Test) scores. A preliminary selection of applicants will be made based on an initial evaluation of these criteria. Applicants selected by this initial process will be required to appear for a personal interview before a committee composed of faculty members and pharmacy students. The interview process provides an opportunity to assess important issues such as motivation, character, personal objectives, and communication skills. An appraisal from all aspects of the interview is included in the applicant’s file and is weighed, along with other factors, such as consistence of academic performance, by the Admissions Committee in making its final recommendation regarding admission to the Dean of the College of Pharmacy. Preference for admission to the professional Doctor of Pharmacy program is given to qualified applicants who are residents of Oklahoma. Consideration is also given to other qualified permanent residents and citizens of the United States who complete their pre-pharmacy program at SWOSU. Only a very small number of other permanent residents and citizens of the United States who are not Oklahoma residents are offered admission, and these applicants typically are residents of states that border Oklahoma. |
