Idaho State University Dual Degree Doctoral Program in Pharmacy (BS/Pharm.D.)

The College of Idaho Cooperative Program in Pharmacy is a dual degree program in collaboration with Idaho State University (ISU). Under ordinary circumstances, students will attend The College of Idaho for three years and then enter the Idaho State University Professional Doctor of Pharmacy program (Pharm.D.) for the next four years. When students have successfully completed the first two years of the Idaho State University Doctor of Pharmacy program, they will be granted a Bachelor of Science degree from The College of Idaho. When they successfully complete the final two years of the Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum, they will receive a Pharm.D. from Idaho State University.

Entrance into the Idaho State University program is competitive. Idaho State University has offered at least two admission seats to College of Idaho students each year. Applicants must have a average GPA of 3.65 to apply to the program. Applicants must apply to the Idaho State University College of Pharmacy - Doctor of Pharmacy program by the application deadline of February 1 of the year in which they intend to begin the program. Due to the competitive nature of this program, students are strongly advised to pursue a complementary major or course of study along with the program prerequisites.

During their course work at The College of Idaho, students will be required to complete 93 credits, including PEAK minors in Social Sciences/History and Humanities/Fine Arts, in addition to all of the prerequisite courses for the Pharm.D. program. The combination of the program prerequisites and the ISU professional program will count as the Natural Sciences and Professional Studies PEAKs. Prospective Pharmacy students should consult the Idaho State University Pharmacy web site for the most up-to-date information. The following is a general list of prerequisites subject to revision:
