If you're invited for Interview Day, please review the information below as you plan
your visit:
Interview Day
As we review applications, the college selects top applicants on a regular basis to participate in our Interview Day process, which determines admission to the college. Applicants have the option to interview on campus in person-which we strongly encourage so you can meet in person with faculty and student pharmacists-as well as online. The goal of our Interview Days is not just for us to meet you, but for you to get to know us and make the best decision on your future pharmacy career.
Feel free to reach out to our Admissions Office any time by emailing us at pharmacy@etsu.edu
or calling us at 423-439-6300.
Our Location
ETSU Gatton College of Pharmacy is located on the James H. Quillen Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VA) campus, which is across the street from ETSU's main campus. The college is primarily located in Building 7, at the corner of Fifth Street and Maple Avenue, and the Pharmacy Admissions Office is located next door in Bishop Hall (Interprofessional Education and Research Center, Building 60). VIP parking for interviewees and their guests is located directly in front of Building 7. Parking is also available in the large lot on the corner of Fifth Street and Ashe Avenue.
The VA campus is situated on federal property called Mountain Home, which is surrounded by the City of Johnson City, Tennessee. Some GPS systems and web mapping services have difficulty finding Mountain Home, so we suggest using the following address to reach the entrance of the VA campus:
1500 West State of Franklin Road
Johnson City, TN 37604
From West State of Franklin Road, turn onto Mountain Home Drive (between two banks). Cross the railroad tracks and enter the VA campus by turning left onto Lake Drive West. Note the speed limit is 15 MPH. At the first stop sign, go straight to drive onto Fifth Street. ETSU Gatton College of Pharmacy, Building 7, is on your right. For the large parking lot, continue on Fifth Street, and the lot is on the left.
