This is an exciting time to be a graduate student in Pharmacology. We are witnessing extraordinary changes in the way we think about and conduct science, with the completion of the human genome project and its far-reaching consequences. This is leading new initiatives in genomics, proteomics and molecular modeling. As these areas develop and new technologies evolve for their study, they will be incorporated into the language of pharmacology as exciting new sub-disciplines such as pharmacogenomics. This, in turn, will be reflected in our curriculum, which will provide our graduate students with the intellectual foundation and research tools for making important contributions to pharmacology and for becoming the leaders in the new molecular era.
Admission to the College of Pharmacy entry-level programs is highly competitive and is granted to the best qualified applicants on a space available basis. Priority is determined using a formula based primarily on academic performance and Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) scores. Although the minimum acceptable cumulative GPA obtained in pre-pharmacy is 2.5, the average of successful applicants is much higher. The Pre-Pharmacy program can be taken at Ferris or at any other accredited college or university.
Graduation Requirements
The College of Pharmacy at Ferris State grants the doctor of pharmacy degree. Graduation requirements for the Pharm.D. degree include completion of all work outlined in the Pharm.D. curriculum, a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 and recommendation for the degree by the faculty of the College of Pharmacy based on academic performance and ethical and professional standards.
