Routes for the Pharmacy Early Assurance Program

Students participating in PEAP can choose one of the following pathway options:

• 2+4 Route

  Two years of undergraduate coursework + four years in the PharmD program. Students will only complete prerequisite courses and will not earn a bachelor’s degree. Students will complete only a PharmD degree.

• 3+4 Route

  Three years of undergraduate coursework + four years in the PharmD program. With proper planning, a student may be able to complete the requirements for a bachelor’s degree in three years, followed by a PharmD degree. Students may also pursue a 3+4 pathway in biology, chemistry or biochemistry, where the first-year pharmacy school courses fulfill both bachelor's degree and Doctor of Pharmacy degree requirements.

• 4+4 Route

  Four years of undergraduate coursework + four years in the PharmD program. Students will earn a bachelor’s degree after the first four years of study, followed by a PharmD degree.
