08/12/2005 - Transfer Students from other PharmD Programs

Because of the block system and the highly integrated nature of the didactic component of the curriculum, the College will consider requests for transfers from other Doctor of Pharmacy programs on an individual basis. The College requires all transfer students to fulfill the experiential learning requirements for the first year of the program (400 hours in a community pharmacy), starting at least by the fourth week of May and finishing prior to starting the second year of USN's program in August. Applicants interested in applying for transfer should:  

• Complete and provide all information requested in the application, including all official transcripts of undergraduate and pharmacy coursework, and the application fee.
• Completed applications should be sent to the attention of the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs.
   

Applicants interested in transferring to the program should submit a transfer application no later than March 1. To be considered for transfer, candidates must have earned a minimum grade point average of 3.0 when enrolled in the professional year(s) of the pharmacy program. Email Michael DeYoung, RhD, PhD or call 702-968-2006 for a transfer application.

Individuals with a prior B.S. in Pharmacy will not be admitted with advanced standing into USN's Doctor of Pharmacy program.
