Requirements
Pharmacy
Beloit has partnered with the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) to provide students a unique dual-degree program. Students can graduate with a B.S./B.A. from Beloit and a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) from MCW in as few as six years.
For the 3+3 program, take the courses required for a B.S. in Biochemistry while still having plenty of choices to pursue non-major electives. For the 4+3 program, take the pharmacy prerequisite courses and earn a B.A. or B.S. in the major of your choice.

Beloit College students must formally apply to the Medical College of Wisconsin dual degree pharmacy (Pharm.D.) program. Applications are due at the end of January each year. Students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 at the time of application.
