General Admissions Requirements
All graduate program applicants must have at least a Bachelor of
Science degree from either an accredited academic or professional
institution comparable to the Bachelor of Science degree awarded at
the University of Houston. Students must submit satisfactory scores
on the general aptitude portion
(verbal, quantitative and analytical writing) of the Graduate Record
Examination (GRE) and have a minimum 3.0 (A=4.0) grade point average
on all work attempted, graduate and undergraduate, beginning with the
semester in which the student took the first of the 60 most recently
earned semester hours.
GRE scores are evaluated as one information source
in the total graduate application. Applicants also may be asked to
take placement examinations given by the department in order to
determine eligibility for admission or to indicate deficiencies in
undergraduate course work. For additional specific admission
requirements, applicants should visit: http://pharmacy.uh.edu/fs/phd/admissions.php.
All graduate applicants, regardless of citizenship status, must demonstrate proficiency in English to
obtain admission to the university. To fulfill this requirement, applicants must have received their Baccalaureate from a
regionally accredited institution in the U.S. or other country where English is the medium of instruction*, or present
English test scores from ONE of the following: (1) The IELTS, minimum score 6.5; (2) the TOEFL, Internet-based
(iBT), minimum score 79; (3) the TOEFL, Computer-based, minimum score 213; (4) the TOEFL, Paper-based, minimum score 550. To receive a Teaching
Assistant appointment, a new student has to demonstrate competency in Spoken English. The IELTS and TOEFL iBT include a speaking test,
and are therefore recommended to discharge this requirement before arriving at UH. Otherwise, an admitted student will be required to
take the SPEAK or TSE after arriving at UH (minimum scores = 50).
