| Curriculum | The College of Pharmacy offers a course of study leading to a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree. Very recently an extra year of prerequisites was added in order to ensure that our applicants were well grounded in the sciences, and also to make room in our newly-reconstructed professional curriculum for immediate training in patient care. Within the very first semester of professional studies, students begin learning drug facts, clinical skills, and how to communicate with patients. Training begins with strong basic science and research, then immediately infuses clinical applications and patient care. Throughout their professional studies, students will gain experience in a variety of health care environments, including community, institutional, and long-term care settings. Our new professional curriculum includes courses in pathophysiology, medication therapy management, integrated colloquia, pharmacy law, and units on how to work with other health care providers such as physicians, nurses, dietitians, and others. The College of Pharmacy also offers a Ph.D. program in Pharmaceutical Sciences. This program consolidates the research and teaching expertise of faculty primarily in the Colleges of Pharmacy (Pharmaceutical Sciences Department) and Veterinary Medicine (Neuroscience faculty). Because this program involves interdisciplinary studies, we have affiliate graduate faculty members from the following WSU academic units: chemistry, entomology, biological sciences, and molecular biosciences. We also have adjunct faculty from the food science and toxicology departments at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho, as well as the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland, WA. |
| Additional Requirements | The application period each academic year is from October 1 to January 1. Because we have room for about 1 in 9 applicants, no guarantee can be given that those who successfully complete the pre-pharmacy requirements will be admitted to the Doctor of Pharmacy program. Students will be considered only if they have a GPA of 3.0 or higher, as well as a critical mass of pharmacy experience. WSU participates with PharmCAS for part of its application procedures.
