Dual Acceptance Program

Midwestern University – Chicago College of Pharmacy
Lewis University

Program Eligibility:

  1. Students must attain to minimum 3.2 GPA during their first seven semesters of high school course work.
  2. Students must have a 25 ACT composite score.
  3. A minimum GPA of 3.2 must be maintained during your time at Lewis.
  4. A minimum overall GPA of 3.2 must be maintained.
  5. A grade of “C” or higher must be obtained in all courses ( “C-“ is not acceptable).
  6. Students may not retake courses to achieve a higher grade and maintain eligibility.

Students must apply to Lewis University and submit a concurrent application (fee $25) to CCP. Both applications will be reviewed by the Admissions Office at Lewis and by the pre-professions director. Provided the student meets all criteria outlined in the “Program Eligibility” section, the pre-professions director will forward all applications to CCP Office of Admissions at Midwestern University. All successful applicants will be notified by mail of their admissions status at Midwestern University.

Students accepted into the Dual Admissions Program are required to sign a matriculation agreement and to submit deposit fees in accordance with the following schedule:

  1. $250 upon acceptance
  2. $250 by May 1 of the freshman year
  3. $250 by January 1 of the sophomore year

All fees are applied toward the student’s first quarter tuition at CCP. If the student does not successfully complete (or chooses to withdraw from) the program, a refund is granted (less a $150 administration fee to CCP).

Students who do not fulfill all the eligibility requirements can apply to CCP via the traditional route (i.e.: complete an application, take and submit PCAT scores, attend a Mandatory Campus Visit, etc).

* = since 19 sh exceeds the hours allowed under the tuition scale (12-18 sh), the student may either take course(s) (up to 3) at Lewis University in the summer session between the first and second year OR may pay for the extra 1 sh during the semester(s) indicated.

** = Mission/Humanities course options are limited to Faith and the Arts OR The Bible as Literature. The student should be aware of when these courses become available to ensure they are taken prior to matriculation to CCP.

PLEASE NOTE: This paradigm must be followed EXACTLY to complete all pre-requisites prior to entering CCP. General education courses can be taken in any order, however absolutely NO substitutions are allowed. Any student failing to complete the courses listed in this paradigm automatically forfeit pre-admission status to CCP.
