The Doctor of Pharmacy program may be completed entirely in Mobile. The dedicated faculty and staff work personally with students to assist in reaching professional goals. The Pharm.D. is the only degree offered at the Mobile Campus. Students remain on campus for three years of the Practice Ready Curriculum and are then assigned a region for the Advance Practice Experiences in the fourth year.

Students on the Mobile Campus experience their curriculum through a mixture of direct instruction and innovative videoconferencing technology for real-time, interactive classroom instruction from faculty in Mobile and around the state of Alabama.

Students participate in interprofessional activities with students from the University of South Alabama, including a student-run clinic and multiple other patient care activities and simulations.

Early Assurance Program at USA

In 2019, Auburn University and the University of South Alabama entered into an agreement to offer the Early Assurance Program (EAP), creating a clear path for prospective and current University of South Alabama students to receive conditional admission to Auburn’s pharmacy program.

EAP allows qualified freshmen and undergraduate students at South Alabama to receive early conditional admission into pharmacy school. Auburn will then hold positions in future Pharm.D. classes for these students, provided that they meet specific standards as undergraduates.

Under the terms of the EAP, high school seniors would be required to apply to USA, receive an offer of admission to USA and then apply for the EAP through South’s JagSPOT scholarship portal by Feb. 15 of each year. If the student meets the eligibility criteria, their application would be sent to HCOP for review, with selected applicants invited to submit an EAP application via PharmDirect, an application service provided by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. Interviews for selected applicants would take place in March, after which a decision would be made for each applicant.

High school seniors admitted to USA must have a minimum high school grade point average of 3.5 and a minimum ACT Composite and STEM scores of 26 (or comparable SAT scores) to be eligible for the EAP.

For South Alabama undergraduate students, the deadline to apply for the EAP is Sept. 15. If the USA student meets the eligibility criteria, their application will be sent to HCOP for review with selected applicants invited to submit an EAP application. Interviews for selected applicants would take place in March.

Undergraduate USA students must meet the following criteria to be eligible for the EAP:

Completed two semesters at USA
A minimum grade point average of 3.5 on all undergraduate prerequisite coursework attempted at USA
No grades of less than ‘C’
Completion of at least 15 prerequisite math/science hours at USA
