Advantages of the Pre-Pharmacy Program

Orientation

Pre-pharmacy students are advised by academic advisors in the Health Professions Advising Office or administrators in the School of Pharmacy who are well versed in the application and admission process for the professional program.

The UM School of Pharmacy is committed to having all required pre-pharmacy courses available to Ole Miss pre-pharmacy students. Very few institutions of higher learning in Mississippi offer on a regular basis, all required pre-pharmacy courses.

Pre-pharmacy students can participate in Student Body and School of Pharmacy organizational opportunities and activities, e.g. Pre-Pharmacy Club, Pharmacy Fiesta, Pharmacy Formal, and Pharmacy Olympics. Students begin their professional development and develop leadership skills through involvement with pharmacy organizations.

Pre-pharmacy students are provided with free tutoring, time management and study skills, interview skills, and courses specifically for pre-pharmacy students.  Pre-pharmacy students have access to many high-engagement programs and activities. Some of the opportunities students may pursue include: undergraduate research, service learning and volunteer activities, community-engagement activities, and study abroad. Pre-pharmacy students often elect to apply for the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College as well.
