Doctor of Pharmacy Program
About
Saint Michael’s College has a special agreement with the Doctor of Pharmacy program at the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.
The ACPHS Doctor of Pharmacy Program is a full-time, four-year program. However, a student who successfully completes the Saint Michael’s Pre-Pharmacy major can complete their SMC degree and begin the ACPHS program during the fourth undergraduate year, thereby reducing the total time to earn the Doctor of Pharmacy degree from eight years to seven.
If you’d like additional program information or have questions, please contact Dr. Shane Lamos at slamos@smcvt.edu.
Financial Aid
Students who begin the ACPHS first-year Professional program after three years at SMC will be considered SMC students until they complete all requirements for the SMC degree/major. Once students are admitted to ACPHS, they also become ACPHS students for the remainder of their degree program. For the first three years the host institution will be SMC, and for the last four years the host institution will be ACPHS. Tuition and fees will be paid to the host institution according to its normal policies, including financial aid, etc. For more information see ACPHS Financial Aid.
