  • Eligibility

    A transfer applicant is defined as an individual who is currently enrolled in the professional year curriculum of a PharmD program at an ACPE affiliated school or college of pharmacy, or a school or college of pharmacy which was accredited within the previous year. Students who are not currently enrolled in pharmacy school but who were enrolled in a pharmacy program within the previous year are also considered transfer applicants.

    Transfer applicants must meet the same admission requirements as individuals applying for initial admission into the professional program. Additionally, transfer applicants must be in good standing at their last pharmacy school attended (i.e., eligible to return) and are expected to be academically competitive.

  • Admission Process
    • Complete and submit a transfer inquiry application.
    • Upload an unofficial pharmacy school transcript
    • The Admissions Committee may request the following supplemental materials:  A secondary transfer application; copies of PCAT scores (if applicable); letters of reference; and copies of pharmacy school course syllabi.

    Upon receipt of the above materials, the Admissions Committee will review the application to determine the applicant's viability for admission. Should the applicant be deemed qualified for admission, a personal interview will be required.

  • Transfer Credit and Residency

After knowing that I had been accepted into the program, the student affairs office at Gatton took me by my hands and guided me through all of the needed things from organizing a place to live in, completing all of the needed documents even for me as an international student, along with the extra things that needed to be done beside the regular requirements.
