Program Overview
The entry-level Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree is
designed to develop students into competent pharmacists with the
knowledge and skills needed to provide the highest quality
pharmaceutical care.
This curriculum gives students a solid foundation in the
liberal arts and sciences that is consistent with a strong academic
program of study. The program is configured as a six-year course of
study that admits students directly into the major without
requiring the completion of a pre-pharmacy curriculum.
Professional pharmacy coursework is introduced early in the
program to increase students’ awareness of their chosen profession.
The final four years concentrate on integrating basic and applied
pharmaceutical and clinical sciences in the classroom and in
practice settings. The curriculum employs an integrated approach to
learning, and stresses the application of knowledge that is
patient-specific and focused.
Graduates of this program are prepared to meet the challenges
associated with becoming an effective practicing pharmacist, and
serve as experts on drug therapy to improve the use of medication
for diverse populations.
Transfer Students
The six-year Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree is designed
to admit 1st-time undergraduate freshmen. Admission is competitive
and is coordinated by our Office of Undergraduate Admission.
Each year the Pharm.D. Committee -- part of the College of
Pharmacy and Allied Health -- determines whether existing classes
have space for transfers. If classes are full, it is possible that
no transfer applicants will be admitted for a specific year.
University regulations view students who have completed any
college credit as transfers. Transfer students are not
evaluated as freshmen. If you change your application to
another major, please note that upon acceptance and enrollment, you
will be unable to transfer into Pharm.D. at a later date. Please
consult our Web site for future updates.
