The College of Pharmacy Academic Advising staff is excited you will be entering Purdue University this fall as a Pre-PharmD or Pharmaceutical Sciences student. We are confident your years at Purdue will be enjoyable as you pursue a challenging and rewarding profession. We are here for each “giant step” you take!

This summer as you transition from high school to Purdue University you will need to complete each of the following steps in sequential order:

Step 1: Complete Purdue 101

After completing Purdue 101 you will receive an email from your Pharmacy Academic Advisor requesting you schedule an appointment. 

Step 2: Purdue Virtual Advising Meeting

After completing your Virtual Advising Meeting you will complete Purdue 102.

Step 3: Purdue 102

After completing Purdue 102 you may choose to participate in Boiler Gold Rush (BGR) or alternatively participate in the All-American Marching Band, Purdue Musical Organizations, or Purdue Athletics.

Step 4: Boiler Gold Rush (optional but highly encouraged)

Whether attending Boiler Gold Rush or not, all Pre-PharmD and Pharmaceutical Sciences students are invited to our Pharmacy College Carnival the Friday afternoon before class begins. Be on the lookout for an email invitation!
