Pharmacy Early Assurance partnership program

Start your journey in Pharmacy with BGSU and the University of Findlay!

Earn your Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) with this early assurance partnership.

BGSU is proud to partner with the University of Findlay College of Pharmacy to offer a degree pathway where you can earn your Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) in just 6 years! This is a fast track that saves you time, money, and gives you the benefit of attending both institutions.

Save Time: The traditional pathway to a PharmD is 8 years (4 years bachelors + 4 years doctoral). The early assurance pathway is a 6-year program, which shortens your time to degree by 2 years!

Save Money: In the early assurance partnership, students get the benefit of paying BGSU’s tuition for years 1-4, which is a cost savings for students.

Benefit of Both Institutions: Students can participate in BGSU campus activities and student organizations for all 4 years, even while taking classes at Findlay! It’s also a short 30-minute drive, so it’s easy to stay in the BG area and commute to Findlay classes.
