PharmTech to Pharm.D.
From PharmTech to Doctor of Pharmacy in as Little as Four Years
If you are a high school student enrolled in a pharmacy technician program or are working as a pharmacy technician, this program is for you. This pathway is designed to take you from your academic starting point to eligibility for enrollment in the Regis PharmD program in three years.
Another key advantage? You’ll receive provisional admission to our Pharm.D. program before you even start at Regis. That means you’ll begin your studies knowing you have a clear, guaranteed pathway to achieving your goal of becoming a pharmacist. Plus, by completing the prescribed undergraduate curriculum, you’ll also earn a B.S. in Foundations of Pharmacy along the way, giving you an additional credential to strengthen your academic and professional profile.
Eligibility
- Earn a high school diploma with a minimum GPA of 2.8
- Maintain a 2.7 GPA at Regis, with a C or better in all Pharm.D. prerequisite courses.
- Compile 320 hours of pharmacy technician work experience annually during the undergraduate phase of the program.
- Pass the Colorado Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam by the end of the second year of the undergraduate phase of the program.
Financial Aid
You’ll be eligible for financial aid during both undergraduate and Pharm.D. portions of the program. Your undergraduate financial aid will be determined during the admissions process, while aid for the Pharm.D. program will be arranged before matriculation.
