CurriculumThe University of Wyoming School of Pharmacy
offers the Doctor of Pharmacy degree as
the single entry level professional pharmacy
degree. The degree requires a minimum of
146 semester-hours credit in required and
elective courses. The curriculum has been
developed within the guidelines of the Accreditation
Council for Pharmacy Education
taking into consideration the variety of career
opportunities as well as general education
needs. The summer after the first professional
year and the final year are devoted to
rotations involving learning experiences in
hospitals, community pharmacies, nursing
home and health-related agencies. Students
are required to live in locations other than
Laramie when enrolled in the clinical
rotations.
Additional RequirementsStudents may enter the professional program
only upon official acceptance by the School
of Pharmacy. Admission to the School of
Pharmacy is competitive and class size is
limited. To be considered for admission to
the professional program, students must
have completed all preprofessional requirements
or their equivalents by the end of the
spring semester prior to matriculation. If not
completed, students are not admitted to the
professional program (but may be admitted
to the preprofessional program).
The application process for the University
of Wyoming School of Pharmacy requires
that students use PharmCAS, the pharmacy
college application service. For more information
about PharmCAS log onto www.
PharmCAS.org. All students are required to
take the Pharmacy College Admissions Test
(PCAT) and have the results sent directly to
PharmCAS by December 1st. Non-citizens
must submit TOEFL (575 minimum for
written test) score. All application materials
and test scores must be submitted by December 1st to PharmCAS. Only courses
completed with a grade of ā€œCā€ (2.00) or better
will be transferred as meeting admission
requirements.
A minimum of four years (eight semesters
plus two summer terms; 146 hours) of residence
work in the professional program is
required of degree candidates in pharmacy
regardless of the amount of credit previously
earned. However, credit earned in professional
programs at other accredited schools
or colleges of pharmacy may be applied
toward this residence requirement. Students
transferring from other schools or colleges of
pharmacy must be in good academic standing
in that program and are considered on
an individual basis. The School of Pharmacy
admits only for fall semester; credit earned
after notification of admission, but before fall
semester will be considered preprofessional
coursework
