UTICA, N.Y. — Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC) and University at Buffalo’s (UB) School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences have signed an affiliation agreement to create a 2 + 4 undergraduate/professional school education program.
Under the plan, students would complete MVCC’s “Liberal Arts and Sciences: Mathematics and Science: Biology” degree program and then apply to and attend UB’s four-year doctor of pharmacy program, MVCC said in a news release.
This six-year program allows students to complete all of UB’s prerequisites at MVCC, though admission into UB’s program “is not guaranteed.”

“This new agreement established between Mohawk Valley Community College and University at Buffalo provides interested students a straightforward path as to what courses to take that will lead them toward their end goal,” Michael Henningsen, assistant director of career and transfer services at MVCC, said in the news release. “What makes this agreement unique is that as long as students maintain a competitive GPA while at MVCC, they can be accepted directly into the Pharm D. program upon transfer. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to get their academic start right here in their own backyard while knowing they are on the right path for their future academic and career goals.”
