Pre-Professional Programs Major, BS – Pre-Pharmacy Concentration
|
|
The college offers three program options for preparing students for the study of pharmacy at UT Health Science Center, Memphis. The Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree is conferred by the College of Pharmacy upon completion of four years of professional study at Memphis after completing any of the three programs options. Bulletins describing the pre-pharmacy program options in detail may be obtained from Arts and Sciences Advising Services.
The three-year program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in pre-professional programs from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is based upon the program outlined below. In the three-year program, the student must complete at least 90 prescribed credit hours while enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Bachelor of Science degree is granted upon satisfactory completion of the first year of study in Memphis. The requirement for a major is waived for those taking their fourth year at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis. Students must complete the last 30 hours of credit in residence at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, before enrolling in the College of Pharmacy. Admission to the College of Pharmacy is at the discretion of that college; admission to and successful completion of the program below do not assure admission to the College of Pharmacy.
uTrack Requirements
Universal Tracking (uTrack) is an academic monitoring system designed to help students stay on track for timely graduation. In order to remain on track, students must complete the minimum requirements for each tracking semester, known as milestones. Milestones may include successful completion of specified courses and/or attainment of a minimum GPA. uTrack requirements only affect full-time, degree-seeking students who first entered Fall 2013 or later. uTrack does not apply to transfer students who enter prior to Fall 2015.
Following the sample academic plan and its uTrack milestones will help students stay on track to graduate in four years. For specific course requirements, refer to the Arts and Sciences requirements listed in the Catalog, and consult an academic advisor.
