Overview

Start on the path to becoming a pharmacist, where you’ll learn to work in different settings to improve the quality of life of everyday people.

Pharmacists play a key role in the medical community, not only filling prescriptions and compounding medications, but also counseling patients on how to properly take medications and recognizing the signs of potential side effects. Pharmacists can work in traditional pharmacy settings, hospital settings, or in a research setting working to develop new medications.

Concordia University Chicago’s pre-pharmacy program is not a major, but includes sequences of foundational and prerequisite courses for entry into graduate professional study in pharmacy.

Students may choose any major, as long as they complete the required prerequisite courses for admission to pharmacy school. However, the suggested pathway to a graduate program in pharmacy is the Bachelor of Science in biology, as this will cover the most prerequisites. Because graduate program prerequisites vary from institution to institution, students must check directly with them for exact clinical hours and admission criteria.

Requirements

To apply, you will need the following: 

  • A completed admission application for Concordia University Chicago.
  • Official transcripts of all college coursework from each institution you have attended.
  • Foreign transcripts evaluated by a Concordia-Chicago-approved international credentialing service. Concordia-Chicago accepts evaluations from Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE).
  • A certified document pledging financial support for your first year of study and without any unexpected events, and enough funding from the same or an equally dependable source for the following years.
  • Proof of graduation from a secondary school.
  • A transfer verification form for students transferring from a school in the United States.
  • Proof of English proficiency, via one of the following:
    • A score of at least 72 (internet-based) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) — Concordia-Chicago’s DI code is 1140
    • A score of 6.0 on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS)
    • Successful completion of Level 112 at an ELS Language School (ELS) or a certificate of completion of program from an English Language Institute (ELI), along with a recommendation of the program director
    • Duolingo test with a minimum score of 95
    • Official, sealed transcripts from the institutions where your degrees were earned, showing all college and university coursework, with certified English translations of all transcripts originally prepared in any other language.
    • Any foreign transcripts must be evaluated by a Concordia-approved international credentialing service. Concordia-Chicago accepts evaluations from WES (World Education Services) and ECE (Educational Credential Evaluators).
    • A certified document pledging financial support for the first year of study, verifying the same or equally dependable source for the following years of study.
    • Two letters of recommendation from individuals able to comment on your academic proficiency, your personal character, your competence and the effectiveness of your professional work.
