Begin your undergraduate studies in biology or chemistry at Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio, then choose from two degree program paths to pharmacy professional schools at other leading Catholic universities to jump start your career in pharmacy.
Pharmacy degree options
- 2+4 Program: Earn your doctor of pharmacy degree in as few as six years. Through this joint degree program for pharmacy, you can earn an associate of arts degree in general studies from Franciscan University, then qualify to receive preferential consideration for acceptance into the doctor of pharmacy program at Duquesne University’s Mylan School of Pharmacy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
- 3+4 Program: Complete two degrees in seven years by earning a bachelor of science in biology or chemistry from Franciscan and a doctor of pharmacy from Duquesne or D’Youville College School of Pharmacy in Buffalo, New York. Through cooperative partnerships, your biology or chemistry major course work fulfills prerequisite requirements for the Duquesne and D’Youville PharmD programs, and you may qualify to receive preferential consideration for acceptance into either professional school.
