Pre-Pharmacy Club

The Pre-Pharmacy Club is a student organization for undergraduates who plan to pursue a career in pharmacy, or for any student who is interested in pharmaceutical science and healthcare.  The club offers pre-professional opportunities, networking, and social activities.  Find details about club activities, meeting dates, and membership policies on the Pre-Pharmacy Club Page.

Pharmacy Undergraduate Ambassadors

The Pharmacy Ambassadors are a team of undergraduates who serve as representatives of the College of Pharmacy and our majors.  Ambassadors give college tours, represent the college at recruitment events, and connect with prospective undergraduate students and their families.  Pharmacy Ambassadors are leaders among their peers, are enthusiastic about their academic program, and are excited to share their experiences with others.  This is a unique leadership opportunity.  Meet the 2025-2026 Pharmacy Undergraduate Ambassadors!

The Pharmacy Ambassador Program is a year-long commitment.  Applications are accepted each spring for the following academic year.

Pharmacy Undergraduate Peer Mentors 

The Peer Mentor program provides an opportunity for incoming first-year students to connect with more experienced students in the college.  Peer mentors assist first-year students with the transition to college, help them make campus connections, share insight about the College of Pharmacy academic experience, and serve as a general resource for navigating life at the University of Arizona.  The Peer Mentor program aims to build community in the college, support success among incoming students, and provide a unique leadership opportunity to current students.

The application for fall mentors opens in late spring.  Incoming students who are interested in matching with a mentor will receive more information at New Student Orientation. 

Pharmacy Undergraduate Preceptors 

Preceptors are highly motivated students who have successfully completed a course, and then return to the course in a future semester to serve in a support role.  Preceptors are not expected to serve as content experts; rather, they function as student mentors and instructional assistants.  If you're taking a PCOL course for the first time, you may benefit from having an experienced preceptor who can help you navigate the course from a student perspective.  If you've already taken a course and are interested in returning as a preceptor, talk to the instructor about opportunities.   Preceptors may earn academic credit for their effort.

Study Abroad with Pharmacy!

Complete Pharmacy major courses abroad through UA Athens (Greece) or UA Sydney (Australia)!  Pre-approved Global Tracks for the PharmSci and PharmTox majors can keep you on track with your degree while abroad. 

Not interested in Athens or Sydney?  Dozens of other options are available for students who want to complete general education, minor courses, or internship experiences abroad.

Undergraduate students may also participate in the College of Pharmacy's rotating summer trips to Kyoto, Japan and Bangkok, Thailand.  These non-credit trips allow students to learn about pharmacy practice and meet with professional pharmacy students in other countries.  This trip is open to rising junior and senior students.
