Major Changes
Students who plan to apply to the Professional (Pharm.D.) Program to start in Fall 2027 and after may be eligible to change their major and enter the Pre-Professional Program in Pharmacy. Students interested in major changes should schedule an appointment with Lyn Alexander. Students applying to start in Fall 2027 should attend an admissions workshop or meet with Lyn Alexander for support. Pre-Professional drop-in sessions are only open to current Pre-Professionals.
Welcome to the Pharmacy Advising Center
Our advising team, made up of faculty, staff, and peer advisors, guide, support, and mentor our students through both the Pre-Professional and Professional (Pharm.D.) Programs in Pharmacy. Our Center's mission is founded on UConn’s mission of teaching, learning, and student success. Through our collaborative advising process, we empower Pharmacy students to work towards their unique educational, professional, and personal goals, and join the future generations of pharmacy professionals and researchers.
Meet Our Peer Advisors
Peer advisors are students in our Professional Program in Pharmacy (Pharm.D. Program) who have had additional training and guidance in peer advising and mentoring. They are key members of our advising team as they can provide unique perspectives and experiences as professional students.
