| Curriculum | The school is nationally recognized for its innovative curriculum that integrates basic and clinical sciences in didactic and laboratory courses. Experiential coursework throughout the program provides students with the opportunity to apply knowledge gained in didactic lectures to the “real world” situation. Our faculty members are national leaders in clinical pharmacy practice and pharmaceutical sciences research. They bring their experience and expertise to the lecture halls to ensure that students are provided with the most current knowledge and well-prepared for their careers. The school supports and cultivates active involvement in the profession through service learning and student organization involvement. Students are placed in experiential sites from the first semester of the curriculum. As they progress through the program, more experience is gained, culminating in their final year of seven, six-week advanced pharmacy practice experiences. |
| Additional Requirements | Applications to the School of Pharmacy are considered only for the fall semester and the supplemental application and PharmCAS application deadline are both December 1. All courses to be completed during the winter, spring and/or summer terms must be listed on the PharmCAS application and a final transcript must be sent when the work is completed. Applications should be sent to PharmCAS. A minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.5 is necessary to be considered for admission. However, the mean grade-point average of the entering class has been 3.5 and above. Thus, admission is highly selective and is dependent upon the number of applications received and the qualifications of the applicant pool for that given year. Factors considered in the selection of the applicants include the overall cumulative GPA; individual grades in chemistry, biology and mathematics; the Pharmacy College Admission Test scores and a review of the academic record for trends in scholastic aptitude. Because communication skills are essential in the practice of pharmacy, public speaking and English composition also are important factors in the evaluation process. A select number of candidates will be invited for an on-site interview before being selected. A minimum of a “C” is required for all prepharmacy core requirements and pass/fail grades are not accepted for these courses. Applicants may be requested to provide course descriptions or syllabi when it is necessary to evaluate course equivalencies. Students applying for admission must provide transcripts for all foreign and U.S. higher education institutions previously attended though the PharmCAS application process. Transcripts from foreign institutions must be evaluated by a professional evaluation service. The English Composition and Public Speaking requirements must be completed at an English speaking college or university. The transferability and acceptance of course work fulfilling the pre-pharmacy requirements will be determined on a case by case basis. |
