Pre-Pharmacy Grade Point Average (PPGPA)

The minimum pre-pharmacy grade point average required for application consideration is 3.000.

Grades below “C” are not accepted.

The grade point average is calculated using the following formula: Sum of the Grade Points/Total #SCH (semester credit hours).

The Pre-Pharmacy grade point average is calculated with the last grade earned* for each course taken, multiplied by the number of semester credit hours (SCH), using the following scale:

A = 4.0 x #SCH = Grade Points

B = 3.0 X #SCH = Grade Points

C= 2.0 X #SCH = Grade Points

D = 1.0 X #SCH = Grade Points

F = 0.0 x #SCH = Grade Points

*For example, if you received a grade of “C” the first time you completed organic chemistry then repeated the course with a grade of “A”, we disregard the “C” and calculate PPGPA using the “A”.  This process allows students to demonstrate competency in a course.
