Bachelor’s degree in a health‑related field (e.g. B.Pharm, BSc in Pharmacy, or PharmD) from a recognised university. Physicians with an MD or equivalent are also eligible.
Minimum GPA: typically expected to be ≥ 3.0 out of 4.0, equivalent to a good Indian first or high second class honours average (though Purdue doesn’t publicly list a strict number across all programs, most MS admittees meet this benchmark).
Prerequisite knowledge: strong foundation in clinical pharmacy, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenomics, pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacoeconomics, medication safety/adherence concepts → essential for coursework and research coordinator roles.
Research experience: strongly valued for thesis-track applicants—demonstrating any health‑science or pharmacy-related project work (especially translational research) strengthens the application.
