Manchester University Students and the Admission Process
Students who complete the pre-pharmacy program at Manchester with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.3 will be guaranteed an interview for the Doctor of Pharmacy program.  Students with strong records who meet the minimum cumulative and prerequisite GPA requirements of 2.5 will still be considered for admission; however, these students are not guaranteed an interview.  Manchester pre-pharmacy students will benefit from opportunities to interact with COP faculty and staff both in North Manchester and Fort Wayne.

International Students and the Admissions Process
Only international students completing the Manchester University pre-pharmacy program and meeting the minimum admission criteria will be considered for admission into the Manchester University College of Pharmacy. Non-U.S. coursework is not accepted to fulfill prerequisite coursework requirements. However, though international coursework doesn’t meet the prerequisite requirements, all transcripts (including international) must still be submitted to PharmCAS.
