and ��ɫ��Ƶ are proud to announce a new affiliation agreement that provides an accelerated path for Greenville students to pursue a rewarding career in pharmacy. This partnership establishes a Dual Acceptance Program (DAP) between ��ɫ��Ƶ’s College of Pharmacy and Greenville University, offering students a more direct route to a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree.

Under the terms of this agreement, interested students who meet specified coursework and program requirements at Greenville University will gain early acceptance into ��ɫ��Ƶ’s College of Pharmacy, reducing the uncertainty typically associated with professional school applications. The program will begin with students entering Greenville University in the fall of 2025.
Greenville University, a private Christian institution in Illinois, offers a variety of undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The University delivers a robust general education and pre-pharmacy curriculum that will equip students with the knowledge necessary for success in pharmacy school. “This affiliation agreement allows Greenville University to offer provisional direct admission to ��ɫ��Ƶ for students still in high school or in year one at GU,” said Suzanne Davis, President of Greenville University. “What an advantage to offer such an excellent academic option toward a growing and evolving career path.” 

��ɫ��Ƶ has 125 years of expertise in healthcare education and a strong reputation for its comprehensive doctoral pharmacy program that prepares students for successful careers. “This agreement aligns with ��ɫ��Ƶ’s commitment to educating the next generation of healthcare professionals," said Kathleen H. Goeppinger, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of ��ɫ��Ƶ. “By partnering with Greenville University, we are providing motivated students with an opportunity to begin their pharmacy education earlier and complete their studies in three years at our established and respected College of Pharmacy."

"I am so excited for students to have easy and clear pathways into high demand professions such as Pharmacy,” said GU’s Vice President of Enrollment, Victoria Clark. “Midwestern is a like-minded institution that believes in courageous care for all students, and we are thrilled to partner with them."  

Interested students have two distinct pathways to enroll in the Dual Acceptance Program including direct entry from high school or after completing one year at Greenville University. Further details about the program are available at the ��ɫ��Ƶ and websites.

Choosing a career in pharmacy offers students the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on patient health while benefiting from strong job stability and a wide selection of career paths. Pharmacists work in a variety of healthcare settings and play a crucial role in patient care, medication management, research, and the broader healthcare system. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of pharmacists is projected to grow by 5% from 2023 to 2033.
