Colleges & Universities (HBCUs)
ATTENTION College Counselors at HBCUs! Join us for a Spring 2023 virtual information session. Find out more here.
To better meet the needs of our communities while strengthening the nation’s capacity to create a diverse workforce, the SIUE School of Pharmacy encourages students attending HBCUs to research the path to become a pharmacist.
The curriculum equivalency guides for the Pre-Pharmacy program are provided to help students meet the minimum admissions requirements for this program at your respective institution.
Completion of the Pre-Pharmacy course requirements does not guarantee admission to the SIUE School of Pharmacy. In addition, courses that will meet the SIUE Pre-Pharmacy requirements may not meet the requirements for completion of other majors at SIUE. Students who plan to pursue a bachelor's degree at SIUE should consult an academic advisor for further assistance. Students who are not admitted to the School of Pharmacy, or who change career paths, may take longer than 4 years to complete the bachelor's degree.
All students are encouraged to review the Admission Criteria and Applying to the School portions of our website.
Students who have earned degrees (Associates, Bachelor's, Master's, Doctoral Degrees) are still required to complete the Pre-Pharmacy curriculum equivalencies. All students should meet with an academic advisor in the SIUE School of Pharmacy to discuss applicability of coursework.
We have provided curriculum equivalency guides below for the HBCUs located in Illinois and surrounding states. If you do not see your school listed, please contact us at pharmacy@siue.edu or 618-650-5150. We have curriculum guides for other HBCUs and are available to answer your questions.
It is important to note that the Pre-Pharmacy Curriculum has been updated for students entering fall of 2018 or later. The curriculum equivalencies listed below were created in 2021.
