Program Information
The 3+1 Biology and Pharmacy Program allows students to complete a BS in Biology while also starting study toward the Doctor of Pharmacy. Those admitted into the program will take general education, biology, and other science courses during their first three years at ETSU that will prepare them for admission into the Gatton College of Pharmacy. Upon successful completion of the required first year pharmacy courses, the student will receive a BS in Biology through the Interdisciplinary Biology Track.
Admission Requirements
Students in the 3 + 1 degree program must meet admission requirements and apply to the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program following the normal application process as detailed on the College of Pharmacy webpage (https://www.etsu.edu/pharmacy/prospective_students/default.php). Students may be in the process of completing pharmacy pre-requisite courses at the time of application, but must do so by the end of the spring semester preceding matriculation in the fall semester. Students will be encouraged to apply as Early Decision applicants, the deadline for which is the first Monday of September for the admission cycle (July 1-March 1). This assures students will receive an admission offer by mid-October, which will facilitate their ability to implement an alternate plan should the decision be negative.
Advising
Students pursuing the 3 + 1 degree option will be advised through the normal advising process for Biological Science Majors. The GCOP Assistant Director for Enrollment will provide secondary advisement relative to preparation for pharmacy school. The GCOP advisor will meet with students each semester; the intent is to provide students with on-going assessment of their likelihood for admission to GCOP. In addition, students will be encouraged to participate in the ETSU Pre Pharmacy Student Organization, advised by a GCOP faculty member. Students deemed non-competitive for admission to GCOP will be referred to Biological Sciences major advisors to develop an alternate plan to earn the BS in Biology degree.
