AStudent Affairs and Admissions >> Information for International Applicants

Please read the following carefully if you are an international applicant (from outside the United States on a student visa) or if you have academic credit from a foreign institution that you wish to have considered for credit towards pre-pharmacy course requirements.   

An applicant who is not a citizen or permanent resident of the United States must follow the normal application procedure.  This includes completing all pre-pharmacy course requirements at an American college or university.  

The College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences Student Affairs and Admissions Office does not evaluate transcripts from outside the United States.  If coursework has been earned in a foreign country, the following procedure is required: 

In order for the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences Student Affairs and Admissions Office to determine whether the courses taken in a foreign country can be transferred for credit, foreign transcripts must be reviewed or evaluated by an undergraduate American institution. We cannot and will not review either foreign transcripts nor transcript evaluations from evaluation services.  We can and will only review an American college / university transcript that includes the courses transferred from the foreign institution.

All of the credit accepted for transfer must appear on the transcript of an American college or university. Transfer credit must be identified as courses equivalent to those in the American college or university.  In order to receive a transcript including the evaluation of transfer credit, the  international student must be enrolled at the undergraduate American institution. 

Until this procedure has been accomplished, an application for admission cannot be accepted.
