Admission Policies

Students entering the Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences (B.S.P.S.) program must satisfy the general admissions requirements and procedures of the university. Admission into the B.S.P.S. program can occur in the fall of the freshman year, i.e., “Early Entry,” but more typically after completion of the pre-pharmacy curriculum at The University of Mississippi or other accredited institution, i.e., “Regular Entry.” Procedures and criteria for early entry and regular entry admission into the professional pharmacy program are given on the Web site of the School of Pharmacy. To gain regular entry, a student must have a cumulative GPA (calculated on all grades earned) of at least 2.75 on all required pre-pharmacy courses (excluding electives in humanities, fine arts, and social sciences). Following completion of the B.S.P.S. degree, students will be admitted into the final two years of the professional degree program (if they have achieved at least a 2.75 GPA on required courses in each of the first two years of the professional degree program) after which they will receive the Doctor of Pharmacy degree.
