How do you apply to the PharmD program?
PCOM School of Pharmacy participates in the centralized Pharmacy College Application Service (PharmCAS) for applicants applying to colleges and schools of pharmacy. The PharmCAS application
will include all undergraduate and graduate coursework, official transcripts and three
letters of recommendation. A holistic approach to admissions is utilized whereby all
attributes of the applicant are considered.

PharmCAS. The application processes for PCOM academic programs, including PharmD,
are on a rolling admissions basis so applications are reviewed in the order in which
