University policy states that a maximum of 62 credit hours can transfer from a community college or 2-year institution.  In addition, UF will not grant 300 or 400 level credit for any course completed at a community college or 2-year institution. 

STEP 1. Gain acceptance to The University of Findlay. 
     Prior to April 10 if you would like to be considered for a possible fall placement.
     Prior to October 10 if you would like to be considered for a possible spring placement. 

International students and/or a green card holders will need to complete the International Student Application for Undergraduate Admission. If accepted to our program, you will be considered an undergraduate student until you start taking 500-level courses.  You must work with the International Admissions Office to secure admission to the University.  Their contact information is international@findlay.edu, 419-434- 4558 or 800-472-9502 ext. 4558. The PCAT is not required. 

Acceptance to The University of Findlay is required so that your prior coursework can be evaluated by our Registrar’s Office.  The College of Pharmacy will use this evaluation to predict where you may fit within the first two years of our program.  Very few students have transferred in all pre-professional courses and are ready to begin our third year.   

STEP 2. Apply to the College of Pharmacy.

Once accepted to The University of Findlay, your admissions information will be forwarded to the College of Pharmacy for review. Should you meet our minimum qualifications a College of Pharmacy application will be sent to you.  

STEP 3. Interview with a College of Pharmacy Representative

Only select students will be invited to interview.  The in-person interview is mandatory for all students who wish to have their application considered further.  The opportunity to interview will be based on your completed Pharmacy application, UF application, transcripts and test scores.  Interviews for transfer students will be set up individually most likely in December and May.      

On your interview day, you will be asked to write a short essay and will interview, one-on-one, with a College of Pharmacy faculty member or administrator.  Each interview will be approximately 20 minutes in length and is an important part of the admission decision.  Writing materials for the essay will be furnished.  The only item you will need to bring is a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license.
