LECOM offers educational programs intended to increase opportunities and options in science for college graduates interested in the School of Pharmacy. The Pharmacy Health Sciences Post Baccalaureate Program and the Pre-PharmD Enrichment Program (PEP) offers a rigorous curriculum centred on the basic medical sciences to prepare students for the pharmacy program. LECOM faculty members conduct all coursework at the Erie campus.
All coursework within the Pharmacy Post Baccalaureate Pathway and Pre-PharmD Enrichment Program (PEP) curriculum is presented at the Bayfront campus in Erie, PA, by LECOM faculty.
The programs are two-semester, non-degree-granting courses of study designed to enhance the science background of participating students. Classes are held daily, Monday through Friday, for two 15-week periods. Classes are not held on designated holidays and other holidays or occasions as so identified.
Students will earn 15 credit hours per semester based on the standard calculation of 14 hours of instruction per credit hour. Post Baccalaureate and PEP students must adhere to all policies and regulations of LECOM.
