Бакалавр наук и Доктор Фармации (BS to PharmD) Программы

BS to PharmD pathways offer high school applicants two options to enter the professional Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program. Both options are designed to allow entering freshmen to complete their pre-pharmacy coursework and PharmD in an accelerated time frame if they meet specific criteria. Students accepted into a BS to PharmD pathway option will begin their program of study in the College of Health Sciences (CNUCHS) undergraduate program towards obtaining their BS degree while completing all prerequisite academic coursework. These students will work closely with the CNUCHS pre-health advisors to ensure completion of all the required criteria and academic course prerequisites in order to be able to be considered for admission to our College of Pharmacy (CNUCOP).

These students will also be required to participate in at least one activity per year sponsored by CNUCOP. The CNUCOP campus activity is designed to educate pre-pharmacy students about their future profession through community health service opportunities, specialty career exploration workshops, lab experiences, and special professional education sessions. The BS to PharmD pathways offer priority acceptance to CNU PharmD program provided they meet all the PharmD admission requirements. In addition, students have the opportunity to complete the Doctor of Pharmacy degree in an accelerated time frame--six to seven years instead of the traditional eight years.

California Northstate University (CNU) was founded in 2007 by a group of visionary leaders to meet the needs of our communities. The success of the College of Pharmacy led to the establishment of the CNU College of Medicine, and then the launch of the undergraduate College of Health Sciences in June 2015. All three colleges emphasize education, partnership, and scholarship.

Based on today’s local and national demand for undergraduate education in the health sciences, the College of Health Sciences operates as a unique health sciences program dedicated to educating, developing, and training individuals for a successful career and to meet the requirements of most professional health schools.
