Admissions

Meet Your Future Pharmacist (and Classmate)

We have students from all around the country joining us on the campus of Union University to attend the School of Pharmacy. Scroll over the map to meet a few of them.

Admission to the Union University School of Pharmacy is by committee action, based on the overall record and aptitude of the applicant. To be considered for admission to the school, applicants must be eligible for admission to Union University and complete all of Union University’s pre-pharmacy requirements:

• minimum 2.75 GPA for pre-pharmacy coursework, with no less than a C in each course
• minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA for all coursework
• completion of the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT)

Applicants are encouraged to apply early, as space is limited, and applications will reviewed on a rolling basis throughout the year until the class is filled. The School of Pharmacy admits only one class per year in the fall semester.

All questions regarding admissions should be directed to Kristina Martin at 731.661.5910 or khmartin@uu.edu.

Accreditation Disclosure Statement

The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) accredits Doctor of Pharmacy programs offered by Colleges and Schools of Pharmacy in the United States and selected non-US sites. For a Doctor of Pharmacy program offered by a new College or School of Pharmacy, ACPE accreditation generally involves three steps: Precandidate accreditation status, Candidate accreditation status, and Full accreditation status. Precandidate accreditation status denotes a developmental program that is expected to mature in accord with stated plans and within a defined time period. Precandidate accreditation status is awarded to a new program of a College or School of Pharmacy that has not yet enrolled students in the professional program and authorizes the School to admit its first class. Candidate accreditation status is awarded to a Doctor of Pharmacy program that has students enrolled but has not yet had a graduating class. Full accreditation status is awarded to a program that has met all ACPE standards for accreditation and has graduated its first class. Graduates of a class designated as having Candidate accreditation status have the same rights and privileges of those graduates from a fully accredited program. ACPE conveys its decisions to the various boards of pharmacy and makes recommendations in accord with its decisions. It should be noted, however, that decisions concerning eligibility for licensure by examination or reciprocity reside with the respective state boards of pharmacy in accordance with their state statutes and administrative rules.

The Doctor of Pharmacy program of the Union University School of Pharmacy was awarded continued Candidate accreditation status during the June 22-26, 2011, meeting of the ACPE Board of Directors based upon an on-site evaluation conducted April 26-27, 2011. If the program continues to develop as planned, full accreditation of the Doctor of Pharmacy program will be considered by the Board following the graduation of students from the program.
