Overview of the SBU-UB Dual Admit Program in Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences
Students accepted into this competitive program have a conditional seat waiting for them at the University at Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences after attending º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ for three years. The program is completed with an additional four years at the University at Buffalo leading to both a BS and a PharmD degree. Up to three students are accepted each year.
Accepted students receive a conditional letter of admission to the University at Buffalo upon entering the program at º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½. The acceptance is conditional in that academic, comportment, and procedural requirements must be maintained while at º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ in order to move on to the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Requirements are detailed in writing when a conditional acceptance is offered.
In Phase I of the program, students spend three years at º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½. A major in Biology is required. There is an option of spending the fourth year of the program at º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ to complete a baccalaureate degree. This will necessarily extend the length of the program to eight years.
