Dear Prospective Student:
Thank you for expressing interest in our Doctor of Pharmacy program. For more than
a century, our School of Pharmacy has provided students with the knowledge, skills
and abilities for a successful career in the profession of Pharmacy.
All applicants for Fall 2008 admission to VCU’s Doctor of Pharmacy degree
program must apply on-line through the national application service PharmCAS. In addition, we require three letters of reference to be submitted

It is not necessary to have completed all prerequisite
course work or to have taken the PCAT (Pharmacy College

prerequisite courses and take the PCAT before entering our program.
