Transfer Applicant Information

Applicants for admission as a transfer student to the first year of the professional degree program must be eligible for admission to Florida A&M University. A minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.75 in college coursework is required. A grade of "C" or better is required in all prerequisite courses (C- is not acceptable). Please note that all college course loads, withdrawals, repeat courses, and academic career paths will be considered. Performance in science and mathematics coursework is critically evaluated. Although GPA is an important factor, it is not the only basis in admission. In addition to academic competence, the College's admission committee considers leadership ability, community service, communication skills, and motivation for pursuing a career in pharmacy. Acceptance at the first professional year (P1) is determined by availability of space, not the size of the applicant pool.
