Pharmacy-JCC/LECOM Dual Admission Program

Your pharmacy degree begins at JCC

Jamestown 社区 College and the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) School of Pharmacy have created a dual admission program to encourage students to pursue careers in pharmacy and help meet the demand for new pharmacists.

The program provides qualified students the opportunity to enter a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree program at LECOM after only two years of undergraduate coursework at JCC. Following coursework at JCC, students can complete the Pharm.D. in an accelerated program involving three years of year-round study at LECOM's Erie, PA校园, or in four typical academic years (mid-August to early June) at LECOM's Bradenton, FL校园.

要点

  • Students can become a Doctor of Pharmacy in five or six years instead of a more traditional eight years.
  • Upon final approval by LECOM, students matriculate into LECOM without having to compete in LECOM's pharmacy application pool.
  • This is a fast-paced, demanding program.
  • 要符合资格, high school students must be seniors or recent graduates, must have attained a high school grade point average of 3.5 (92%) or higher, and must apply prior to starting classes at JCC.
  • College students may apply for the agreement if they have completed one year of full-time study, have an overall grade point average of 3.4 or higher, have a science grade point average of 3.2 or higher, and will complete 2 consecutive years of full-time study at JCC.
  • LECOM reserves only a limited number of positions for JCC students each year.
  • Students must not be part of any other pharmacy school’s dual admission program.
  • Students may not apply to any other pharmacy school.
  • LECOM will not accept CLEP credits.

  • While in high school, students can complete required undergraduate courses through JCC’s 大学连接 or Pre-College Enrollment Program (PEP).
  • Students may substitute equivalent Advanced Placement (AP) courses for required undergraduate courses. 然而, LECOM will only accept AP credits if the student scores a four (4) or five (5) on the AP exam.
  • For any required undergraduate course completed while in high school, upon approval by the student's JCC advisor an additional course applicable to the field of pharmacy or a course of similar or greater academic rigor must be taken as a replacement course while at JCC.
  • Replacement courses can significantly increase the difficulty of this already demanding program. Thus, it may be disadvantageous to take required undergraduate courses while in high school.
