Transfer Agreements

This program allows a select number of students to complete a Bachelor of Science degree at BGSU as well as a PharmD at the University of Findlay in a total of six years. Students will complete general education and basic science requirements at BGSU’s state-of-the-art facilities, be dually enrolled at the two institutions for the first two years of professional studies and finish their pharmacy training at UF. Students will be under the expert guidance of pharmacy faculty, ultimately graduating with both a B.S. and doctorate degree. 

The University of Findlay’s (UF) Doctor of Pharmacy Program and Lake Erie College (LEC) have entered an “early assurance agreement.” This educational collaboration will enable LEC students to further their education at UF as they work toward their Doctor of Pharmacy degree. 

Lake Erie College will encourage highly qualified students to seek admission to the third-year (P3) year of UF’s Doctor of Pharmacy Program. Admission to the program will be open to those applicants who enter as freshmen and complete all three years of their undergraduate work at LEC. 

As transfer students, LEC students will spend four additional years earning their Doctor of Pharmacy degree. Through this agreement, UF hopes to attract superior students to their program who have acquired a solid scientific knowledge base from LEC. Transfer students and those who do not matriculate directly into the LEC Accelerated Chemistry Program as incoming freshmen will not be eligible.
