The agreement creates a direct path for Le 91看片网站 undergraduates to pursue UB鈥檚 nationally ranked PharmD program

Le 91看片网站 College and the University at Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (UB SPPS) have established a new academic affiliation, designed to prepare motivated undergraduate students for advanced study in pharmacy while helping meet the region鈥檚 growing need for health care professionals.

Through the agreement, qualified Le 91看片网站 students can pursue a 3+4 program that enables them to earn a bachelor鈥檚 degree from Le 91看片网站 and a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree from UB in seven years, one year sooner than the traditional pathway.

鈥淟e 91看片网站 is excited to partner with the University at Buffalo to help address the ongoing shortage of pharmacists,鈥� said Tim Lee, vice president for enrollment management and marketing. 鈥淭his agreement further strengthens our relationship with the University at Buffalo, as the School of Dental Medicine is a top choice for our pre-dental students and we have a long-standing academic agreement with its School of Law.鈥�

鈥淭he collaboration reflects our school鈥檚 commitment to creating clear, supportive pipelines for students who aspire to careers in pharmacy,鈥� said Gary Pollack, Ph.D., dean of the UB School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. 鈥淏y working with Le 91看片网站, we can offer their talented undergraduates access to UB鈥檚 rigorous PharmD curriculum and further strengthen the health care workforce in New York State.鈥�

The program allows students to complete three years of undergraduate study at Le 91看片网站 before transitioning to UB for the four-year PharmD program. Credits from the first year of pharmacy school will also apply toward completion of the Le 91看片网站 bachelor鈥檚 degree. Each year, UB will reserve seats in the PharmD program for qualified Le 91看片网站 applicants who meet defined admissions standards.

In addition, both institutions will coordinate annually to provide guidance and advising, ensuring students are supported at every stage of the transition from Le 91看片网站 to UB.

The Le 91看片网站 partnership expands the school鈥檚 network of academic affiliations that create early and efficient entry points into its PharmD program.
