Care with confidence: Launch your pharmacy path with CAP

What is Conditional Admission to Pharmacy (CAP)?

CAP status is a great unique opportunity for high school students who are committed to pursuing a future career in pharmacy to complete their pre-pharmacy studies with a like-minded peer community and an early connection to the School of Pharmacy and all of the support resources we have to offer. If you are a well-rounded student, who is community-minded, and passionate about pursuing your dream of becoming a pharmacist, then CAP status is the right path for you!

What’s new and exciting in CAP?

We are excited to expand the CAP program in September 2025 to be able to offer 40 spots and grow the CAP community. We will also be further enhancing the CAP experience with more exciting and educational events, guest speakers, mentorship opportunities and dedicated support.

It’s a one-of-a-kind experience. You’ll meet fellow CAP students and build a support network together.
