SPECIAL NOTES
Courses completed at a community college:   Prospective applicants to the College of Pharmacy should know that while the College accepts approved courses from a two-year institution, community college or technical school, they may not be viewed by the Admissions Committee as being as rigorous as courses from a four-year institution.

The College of Pharmacy requires applicants to have a bachelor's degree before enrolling in the program.

All science courses taken require a lab component.

Math courses studying pre-calculus with trigonometry, Calculus I or higher are required.

In cases where anatomy and physiology are offered in a combined sequence course, both courses are required in order for credit to be awarded. For these courses Ohio State will award credit for EEOB 2510 (anatomy) and EEOB 2520 (physiology)

Pharmacy requires an overall GPA of 3.0

This evaluation is valid for the current application cycle only. Evaluated courses and the transferability of these courses can change, at any time, due to course content and re-evaluation.
