Curriculum | The School of Pharmacy offers the professional program leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D. degree). The program consists of four years of professional education preceded by the completion of 69 semester hours of prerequisite coursework. Students are admitted into the program as a group each fall and progress through the curriculum as a cohort. The educational process follows the programmatic goals set forth by the Accreditation Council on Pharmaceutical Education (ACPE). The course of study will be comprised of 148 credits hours of didactic courses and practice experiences. The coursework can be categorized into eight curricular domains which include: 1. Foundational (Biochemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, Immunology, Molecular Biology and Microbiology); 2. Drug Delivery and Elimination (Pharmaceutics, Applied Pharmacokinetics and Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, Advanced Pharmaceutical Preparations); 3. Drug Action (Pharmacology and Medicinal Chemistry); 4. Social and Administrative (Pharmacy and the Healthcare System, Social and Behavioral Pharmacy, Patient Care Ethics, Pharmacy Management and Leadership, Pharmacoeconomics and Epidemiology and Pharmacy Law); 5. Therapeutics (non-prescription Therapies, Pharmacy Calculations, Therapeutics and Pathophysiology); 6. Informatics (Medical Literature Evaluation); 7. Applied (Applied Patient Care, Physical Assessment); and 8. Experiential Education (IPPE and APPE). The Experiential Education program begins in the first semester of the first professional academic year (the “P1” year). The philosophy of the CUW experiential program is that the students will benefit from dedicated blocks of time for all of their rotation experiences as all regularly scheduled classes are suspended during this block of time. There will not be any experiential education requirements during the summer months of the P1, P2 or P3, which will enable students to use this time for work or internships and will make it possible for students to compete for those national internships that are only offered during the summer months. |
Additional Requirements | Potential applicants are highly encouraged to consult the CUW School of Pharmacy website for complete information regarding admission requirements and procedures, including the FAQ section. Admission to the University does not grant admission to the Doctor of Pharmacy Program. All students must apply to be formally accepted to the School of Pharmacy before they may begin the professional courses for the four years of the pharmacy program. Students may apply for admission into the Doctor of Pharmacy program upon satisfactory completion of the prerequisites or evidence that these prerequisites will be successfully completed at either CUW or another accredited college prior to admission. All students must apply through PharmCAS. A supplemental application and $50 fee are also required and must be received before an application is considered. This application can be found on the website. Selection is based on a thorough evaluation of applicants utilizing both academic and non-academic criteria. Some of the criteria evaluated includes: academic performance in the prepharmacy curriculum, personal qualifications including commitment to service, extra-curricular involvement and pharmacy experience, as well as evidence of a thorough understanding, sincerity and enthusiasm toward the profession of pharmacy. Letters of reference should be chosen with care as the information contained within the reference is crucial. Selected applicants are interviewed by faculty and area pharmacists who assist us with the interview process. All decisions are made by the Admissions Committee. We process our applications on a rolling basis, which begins on August 1 each year preceding matriculation. All application materials (including letters of reference) must be received by PharmCAS by March 1 for consideration. The supplemental application is due by that time as well. |
