PharmD International Pathway (PIP)
After a one-month summer orientation designed to acclimatize international students, applicants are admitted with advanced standing into the second year of our traditional PharmD curriculum, bypassing the first year entirely. The Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree awarded to the students in the international program is the same as those awarded to our students in the traditional PharmD program.

Long History of Success
*Formerly called the International Post-Baccalaureate PharmD (IPBP) program.
“WesternU’s program definitely stood out to me because of its block system, its team-based learning structure, which helps to prepare oneself for pharmacy practice and the integration of the IPBP students into the traditional PharmD class, which helps us to easily socialize and adapt to the American system.”
“The PharmD program at WesternU is unique and crucial to helping me become highly educated and trained to be ready for my future goals.”
“Working with students from other countries and cultures taught me to appreciate and anticipate patient and family preferences regarding treatment decisions.”
