The UT Austin College of Pharmacy will be using the national PharmD admission system (PharmCAS) for the Fall 2013 admissions cycle. The application will open on June 1, 2012. We plan to update our website with general admissions information and instructions by late March 2012.
Although a previous degree is not necessary for admission to the College of Pharmacy, students tend to perform better when they are taking courses that satisfy degree requirements; therefore, students are encouraged to choose a program of study leading to the baccalaureate degree and to strive for a grade of "B" or better. A grade of at least "C" must be earned in each of the required courses for admission.
Please refer to: Required Pre-Pharmacy Courses for additional information
Students interested in obtaining a Pharm.D. combined with a Ph.D. in medicinal chemistry, pharmacology-toxicology, or pharmaceutics should refer to the program description for additional information.
Because the College of Pharmacy is a state funded institution, Texas residents are given preference in admissions. If Texas residency is in question: Please refer to www.utexas.edu/student/giac/residency.html for frequently asked questions regarding Texas residency.
