Good afternoon,

Thank you for applying to the University of Southern Nevada College of Pharmacy! We deeply appreciate your interest in the pharmacy program offered on our Henderson, Nevada and South Jordan, Utah campuses. On behalf of the College, I am delighted to invite you to interview for the program. Please e-mail me as soon as possible (no later than January 24) to let me know if you accept this invitation and your first and second choices of the following interview campus locations and dates:

Campus Date

Utah Thursday, March 3

OR

Nevada Tuesday, March 8

All of the interview days begin at 1:30 pm and it is expected that they will be completed by 6:30 pm. You must be present on campus by

1:15 pm. While many candidates should be finished with their interviews by 5:30 pm, it is possible that you may need to stay until after 6:00.

The Admissions Office will do its best to assign you to the interview day that is your first choice. However, please understand that interview spaces are limited and candidates may be required to interview at a campus and date that is not their first choice. If you need an alternate interview date, additional interview days will be held in March Please note that campus interview location is for scheduling purposes only and does not determine or impact your admission status or enrollment location.

If you accept this invitation to interview at USN, I will send you an e-mail confirming your interview campus location, date and directions to campus. Hotel information is available on request.

When you arrive on your assigned interview day, please have a photo I.D. such as a driver’s license with you to check-in.

On the day of your interview, the Admissions Office will provide you with an orientation of the program, a tour of the facilities, and an opportunity to meet with current USN pharmacy students. Candidates are interviewed by a panel of two interviewers that will consist of a faculty member and a student from the College. Please feel free to ask the panel members any questions you have about the program. During the interview, the panel will assess your oral communication skills, ability to work within a team, leadership and problem-solving skills, motivation and professionalism. The panel expects to complete your interview within 30 minutes.

If you are interested in pursuing a Pharm.D. / MBA degree, representatives from USN’s MBA program will also be available during the interview day to speak with you. You can learn more about the MBA program by visiting the ‘Colleges and Program’ section of the USN website at www.usn.edu.
