SUNY Geneseo and the University at Buffalo (UB) School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences have formed a collaborative agreement providing students an accelerated opportunity to earn a Doctor of Pharmacy degree.
Under the 3+4 agreement, students will complete three years of undergraduate study in SUNY Geneseo’s biology (BA or BS) or chemistry (BA) programs, then apply to UB’s School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Once accepted, students will have their first-year pharmacy courses applied toward their bachelor’s degree at SUNY Geneseo, completing both degrees in seven years instead of the usual eight—saving a year’s worth of time and tuition.
“Building on our strong collaboration with UB, we are excited for SUNY Geneseo students to participate in the UB PharmD program through the 3+4 agreement,” says SUNY Geneseo Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Mary C. Toale. “This partnership further demonstrates the strength of SUNY partnerships for student success across the SUNY system.”
The UB pharmacy program will guarantee spaces each year for qualified SUNY Geneseo students.
“The University at Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences values our strong collaboration with SUNY Geneseo, and our agreement will further solidify this partnership,” says Dean of the UB School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Gary Pollack. “We look forward to having their best and brightest students as members of our PharmD program.”
