Pre-PharmD Enrichment and Pharmacy Post-Baccalaureate Program
LECOM offers distinctive educational programs designed to enhance opportunities for students seeking admission to the School of Pharmacy. The School provides two pathways to help students strengthen their undergraduate coursework and improve their chances of entering its Pharm.D. program.
The Pharmacy Post-Baccalaureate Program (Post-Bacc) is tailored for students who already hold a Bachelor’s degree, while the Pre-PharmD Enrichment Program (PEP) is intended for students who have not yet earned a degree. Both programs follow the same curricula and timelines, with the goal of preparing students for professional school by enhancing their academic foundation and professionalism.
It is important to note that the courses within the PEP and Post-Bacc programs do not replace the pre-requisite coursework required for admission to the Pharm.D. program. All students must complete the necessary pre-requisites before entering either the PEP or Post-Bacc certificate program.
Upon successful completion of the one-year curriculum, students will receive a certificate acknowledging their completion of the program’s coursework. Additionally, letters of recommendation to prospective professional programs can be provided upon request.
Students who meet the program’s GPA requirement of 3.0 within the program and maintain professional standards are guaranteed an interview for a seat in the LECOM Pharm.D. program.
