Pre-Pharmacy
The Pre-Pharmacy learning community is a great opportunity for you to begin building a network early. Not only will you live with students in your same discipline and receive support academically, but you will also be exposed to a variety of opportunities to connect with faculty and staff within the College of Pharmacy and across the university.
Eligibility
- First-time beginning students admitted to Pre-Pharmacy
Residential Component
- Required. The location of learning community housing will be determined based on the incoming size and needs of the learning community.
- A signed housing contract is required to apply to this learning community. Once a housing contract is completed, you will indicate your learning community housing preference within the learning community application. Applications received by the priority deadline will be considered first.
- If you want to be placed with a preferred roommate and be admitted to a learning community with a required residential component, both you and your roommate must apply (and be accepted) to the same learning community. Students admitted to learning communities with a required residential component cannot be paired with students admitted to learning communities with an optional residential component.
- For specific question regarding learning communities, email learningcommunities@purdue.edu.
- Completing a housing contract is a separate process from applying to a learning community. If you have questions about housing, contact University Residences (https://www.housing.purdue.edu/) at housing@purdue.edu.
