Required Courses for PharmD Admissions

Overview

The course information below provides examples of the known Biology, Chemistry, Math, and English courses, or a combination of courses, which may be used to meet specific prerequisite course requirements for the PharmD program.

Specific examples will not be listed for Science labs and/or Social Sciences/Humanities prerequisite course requirements. Review the Application requirements page for general information about meeting these requirements. 

The Admissions Committee strongly believes that on-campus labs better prepare applicants for the PharmD program. However, lab courses offered only in a virtual or online format have been previously assessed to be equivalent to the PharmD prerequisite lab courses and will be accepted for admission. If the course is offered in multiple formats, we strongly encourage applicants to take on-campus labs as it will better prepare you for future success in the PharmD program.

Universities and their acceptable courses (in alphabetical order)

Applicants may complete the course requirements at any accredited post-secondary institution. Listed below are Ontario Universities, as well as some Canadian Universities. Due to the large number of post-secondary institutions we cannot list all institutions.

If you do not see your institution listed below or you do not see a specific course within your institution listed below you may email pharmacy@uwaterloo.ca for more information.

Please note that while each course requirement needs to be completed, the courses following each requirement listed below are examples of acceptable course equivalents. Typically, only one course or course pairing needs to be completed to meet each required course. Please reach out to pharmacy@uwaterloo.ca if you have any questions.

CEGEP (Quebec)

Candidates who have studied in the Quebec educational system should note that CEGEP and university level credits are considered for purposes of meeting the academic subject requirements. Candidates who have completed a 2 or 3 year CEGEP program may use their CEGEP courses to meet the prerequisite requirements.  However, we do not admit directly from the CEGEP level, and a minimum of one year of university level study must be completed (i.e. minimum of 4.0 FCEs at a university) as a supplement to the CEGEP studies regardless of the number of university transfer credits awarded. All candidates must have a minimum total of 8.0 FCE equivalents at the university level.
