The 3+4 Accelerated Program in Pharmacy allows selected undergraduate students who have successfully completed specific core course requirements at Penn State Behrend to continue their education in pharmacy at the University at Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, part of the SUNY system, in an accelerated program of study.This allows students to save one year of schooling as they work toward their doctor of pharmacy degree.
The program is comprised of two phases: Phase I consists of the first three years of undergraduate education at Penn State Behrend; Phase II consists of the remaining pharmacy school education at the University at Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Penn State Behrend will confer the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Biology to students who have successfully completed the Penn State Behrend courses in Phase I (minimum 103 credits) and the first year of UB's academic curriculum.
