CurriculumThe College of Pharmacy-Glendale (CPG) offers
an innovative, three-year program leading
to the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.)
degree. After two years of preprofessional
training at an accredited college or university,
students complete their final three years of
study at CPG. This three-year, full-time,
year-round program reduces the number of
calendar years of study and allows quicker
entry into professional careers.
The College emphasizes a patient-oriented
approach to pharmacy practice, stressing
communication skills, problem-based learning,
and practical experience. The curriculum
features early clinical experiences, allowing
students to visit community and institutional
sites. The design of the experiences is integrated,
so students are introduced to practical
pharmacy experience while they are taking
didactic course work.
For newly admitted students, a mandatory
orientation is held during the first week in
June 2012 and classes begin during the second
week in June 2012. All prepharmacy
coursework requirements must be completed
before the newly admitted student starts
classes at the College of Pharmacy-Glendale.
Additional RequirementsCPG uses the Pharmacy College Application
Service (PharmCAS) (www.pharmcas.org)
for all admissions. This centralized service
allows applicants to use a single application
and one set of official US and/or Canadian
transcripts to apply to multiple Pharm.D.
degree programs. Applicants will complete
the web-based application and submit official
transcripts and PCAT scores directly
to PharmCAS. The PharmCAS application
deadline is January 5, 2012. A college supplemental
application is also required. These are
obtained from the University Admissions
Office and the submission deadline is February
15, 2012.
