Looking for postgraduate pharmacy training?

Cedarville University School of Pharmacy welcomes academically prepared students from accredited colleges around the world. Students may enter directly into the professional years of our program, with or without a bachelor's degree, as long as all prerequisites have been met.

The School of Pharmacy strongly prefers that pharmacy science and math prerequisites (e.g., chemistry, anatomy, physiology, organic chemistry, microbiology, and math courses) be taken from an accredited college or university. Alternative non-traditional learning options partnered with an accredited university providing college credit is acceptable. Alternative non-traditional learning options are acceptable for other (i.e., non-science and math) prerequisites. The School of Pharmacy admissions committee will be responsible to review each prospective student and determine fit on a case by case basis.

Application Process

We look forward to helping you achieve your educational and professional goals through the School of Pharmacy at Cedarville University! Admission to Cedarville’s Pharm.D. program is a three-step process:

  1. Complete the PharmCAS application.
  2. Complete a short FREE Cedarville application. This application requires your personal testimony, acknowledgement of the University doctrinal statement and community covenant, and contact information for a Christian Leader Reference.
  3. Interview with the School of Pharmacy faculty for admission and scholarships.
