Pre-Pharmacy, or Pre-Pharm, is a term used for a two-year undergraduate program that Pharmacy students must first complete before moving on to a Doctor of Pharmacy or PharmD program.

Indiana University Southeast (IU Southeast) and Sullivan University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (SU COPHS) in Louisville provide students with a fast track called the Direct to PharmD program.

If admitted to the Direct to PharmD program, you can complete your pre-pharmacy coursework and undergraduate degree at IU Southeast and your PharmD at Sullivan University.

During the first two years, you must meet undergraduate academic progress conditions while completing the prerequisite coursework at IU Southeast. You can major in chemistry-biochemistry or biology-microbiology during your undergraduate term.

During the third year, credit hours earned at SU COPHS are applied toward a Bachelor of Arts or Science degree through a reverse transfer agreement between the two universities, allowing you to earn two degrees in five years vs. the conventional six-year timeframe.

There are two options for admissions depending on whether you’re a high school or current college student.
