| Curriculum | The College of Pharmacy offers the Doctor of Pharmacy degree to students who successfully complete the six-year study of prescribed courses. The first two years (pre-pharmacy) may be completed at any accredited institution of higher education. The last four years (nine semesters) are in the professional program and must be in residence at the College of Pharmacy. In order to receive the Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the College of Pharmacy, a student must have earned academic credit for not less than 60 semester hours in pre-pharmacy course work and 148 semester hours of required professional course work. The Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum is summarized below. The first professional year curriculum introduces the student to systems on which the profession is based, e.g., organ systems, drug delivery systems, health care systems, computer systems, communications, and medical terminology. In the second professional year, the curriculum focuses on drugs - their structure, function, mechanism of action, formulation, and clinical use in patients. In the third professional year, students construct pharmacotherapy regimens and write plans to monitor drug therapy for efficacy and safety. Pharmacy law, drug policy management and ethics are also emphasized. During the fourth professional year (three semesters), each student completes eight, five-week, full time clerkship rotations in institutional, community, and other patient care settings. Students also are instructed in the creation of pharmacotherapy care plans and professional development. |
| Additional Requirements | To be admitted to the professional program in the College of Pharmacy, a student must complete pre-pharmacy requirements. The two years of pre-pharmacy education require satisfactory completion of not less than 60 semester hours of academic work counting toward the pharmacy degree. Applicants to the professional program must take the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT). The summer and fall offering dates are preferred and the January PCAT score is the last that can be considered for admission. In addition to the applicant’s grade point average, the selection process utilizes PCAT scores, recommendations and an on-campus interview. The College of Pharmacy only accepts students into its professional program for classes beginning in the Fall semester. The University of Georgia does not currently participate in the PharmCAS program. ApApplication to the College of Pharmacy must be submitted by February 1. Transcripts showing all college work taken should accompany the application. Students may apply to the College of Pharmacy when they have completed 30 hours of prerequisite coursework. Applicants who are accepted but do not attend for the accepted term must repeat the admission process for a future date. Applicants who are known to have been officially dismissed from another pharmacy program will not be accepted. A student who gains entrance to the College by misrepresentation of facts may be dismissed immediately. |
