Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science 3+4 Partnership Program

The dual degree partnership program between Carroll University and Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science allows students to earn a bachelor of arts or science degree from Carroll and a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from RFU in just seven years. Students spend three years at Carroll completing courses in the undergraduate major of their choice, along with pharmacy school pre-requisites before transferring to RFU. Courses from the first year of the PharmD program transfer back to Carroll to complete the undergraduate degree requirements. Students are then awarded a bachelor’s degree from Carroll. After successfully completing the four-year pharmacy program, students earn their Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree from RFU. Alternately, students may choose to complete their undergraduate degree in four years at Carroll before seeking admission to RFU.  

Admission to the pre-pharmacy program at Carroll University does not guarantee admission to the RFU College of Pharmacy. Students must complete all admission materials and processes with RFU for admittance consideration to their program.
