Pharmacy Application Process
Applying to the Skaggs School of Pharmacy
Beginning your pharmacy career is easy at the University of Montana. Get an inside look at what it’s like to apply here.
Three routes. One Doctor of Pharmacy degree.
Ready to dig into the PharmD program at UM? You’ve got three options for admission
- The Traditional UM Pre-Pharmacy Admission Pathway: choose this option if you’re starting off by entering as an undergraduate pre-pharmacy major.
- The GrizRX Assurance Program Pathway: academically qualified high school seniors who want to expedite their route to the PharmD, this one’s for you.
- The Transfer Pathway: got pre-pharmacy credentials from another institution? No problem — you’ll apply via PharmCAS too.
Traditional UM Pre-Pharmacy Admission Pathway
For this route, you’ll apply normally for an undergraduate degree at UM and declare
a Pre-Pharmacy major. (Pretty self-explanatory, right?) Once you’ve completed the
prerequisites, you’ll head over to the PharmCAS application and apply there for admission
to the PharmD!
GrizRX Assurance Program Pathway
Got a GPA of 3.5 or above and an ACT of at least 25? Good news — you can expedite
your path to pharmacy school. Just apply as the pre-pharmacy major to UM, complete
two years of prerequisites, and then hop over to PharmCAS to apply.
Non-UM Admission Pathway
Didn’t go to UM for your undergrad? No worries — you can still apply for the PharmD
using the normal process in PharmCAS.
