The pre-pharmacy program is administratively located in the School of Pharmacy and the faculty advisers are members of the School of Pharmacy faculty.

The pre-pharmacy curriculum, at a minimum, consists at a minimum three years of course requirements. This curriculum may be completed at the University of Mississippi or another four-year institution. Two of courses may also be completed at a community college.

Completion of the pre-pharmacy requirements will not ensure admission to the professional degree program. Final decisions regarding admission to the professional degree program will be made based on procedures developed by a faculty committee. Admission preference will be given to applicants who are Mississippi residents and United States citizens and to non-Mississippi United States citizens who complete the all required pre-pharmacy courses at the University of Mississippi. However, application by academically exceptional non-Mississippi residents, who completed their pre-pharmacy requirements at other institutions, are encouraged.
