Pacific Pre-pharmacy Program MOU
Pacific Pre-pharmacy Program
A comprehensive preparatory program for students in the Pacific region who plan to apply to the College of Pharmacy at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo.
Completion of the Pre-pharmacy course curriculum or equivalent is required for admission into the professional degree program leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy degree (PharmD). This program is an extension of our existing UHH Pre-Pharmacy Program to meet the needs of students in the Pacific Region who may not have access to formal training opportunities. Student accessibility to courses is being broadened through enhanced distance-learning efforts as well as with on-campus classes. Mentorship, guidance and tutorial program are being developed to provide students the opportunity to successfully complete these academic requirements according to individual need. Admission into the completion of the Pre-pharmacy Program does not guarantee admission into the Doctor of Pharmacy Program at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo.
