Eligibility
A transfer applicant is defined as an individual who is currently enrolled in the professional year curriculum of a PharmD program at an ACPE affiliated school or college of pharmacy, or a school or college of pharmacy which was accredited within the previous year. Students who are not currently enrolled in pharmacy school but who were enrolled in a pharmacy program within the previous year are also considered transfer applicants.
Transfer applicants must meet the same admission requirements as individuals applying for initial admission into the professional program. Additionally, transfer applicants must be in good standing at their last pharmacy school attended (i.e., eligible to return) and are expected to be academically competitive.

Testimonials
My choice to transfer to Gatton was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! At Gatton, I have had every resource I’ve needed to learn and thrive. The culture at Gatton is enveloping, and I am happy to be a part of this wonderful program!
After knowing that I had been accepted into the program, the student affairs office at Gatton took me by my hands and guided me through all of the needed things from organizing a place to live in, completing all of the needed documents even for me as an international student, along with the extra things that needed to be done beside the regular requirements.
