CurriculumThe School of Pharmacy offers an innovative
entry-level professional program leading to
the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) Degree
based on the premise that the ultimate goal of
pharmacy is to render pharmaceutical care.
The curriculum emphasizes knowledge and
practice in the areas of preventive medicine,
primary care for the adult, pediatric and
geriatric populations. The curriculum also
provides for growing sectors of medicine
such as long-term care, home health care,
and hospice care. Clinical training sites for
pharmacy students are established in both
traditional and non-traditional sites, including
medically underserved communities.
Coupled with the diversity of the basic educational
requirements, the curriculum should
satisfy the goal of producing a graduate
whose personal ethics and professional skills
allow for full participation and prosperity in
the medical community.
Additional RequirementsStudents may apply for admission into
the pre-pharmacy program directly from
high school and must complete two years
of prerequisite coursework. Such students
would have to compete for admission into
the School of Pharmacy, after they have
completed the pre-requisite courses. The
PCAT and a GPA of 2.75 are required to be
guaranteed an interview for possible progression
from the pre-pharmacy program into the
professional level.
Applicants to the professional school may
complete the prerequisite courses at another
accredited institution, transfer into the professional
program and complete four years
of study leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy
degree. The content and comprehensiveness
of the prerequisite courses must be comparable
to the pre-pharmacy courses offered at
Hampton University. To be considered for
admission, a transfer student must have a
minimum overall GPA of 2.75. In addition,
a recent PCAT, an on-site interview and a
high degree of professionalism are required
for admission into the professional school.
