| Curriculum | Following a minimum of two years of prepharmacy, the professional course leading to the Pharm.D. (Doctor of Pharmacy) degree is four years (minimum of 140-semester hours) in length. The Pharm.D. curriculum requires advanced coursework in pathophysiology, biotechnology, integrated pharmacotherapy, pharmacokinetics, drug literature evaluation, public health, practice management and marketing, as well as introductory pharmacy practice experiences and advanced pharmacy practice experiences through our experiential learning program. Students may also elect to participate in an undergraduate research program. A unique four-year non-licensure eligible B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences is offered that facilitates career preparation through elective internships in industry and on-campus research laboratories. A combined Pharm.D./Ph.D. is also available. The Ph.D. degree under the direction of the Graduate School of the University is offered in each of the three departments of the school: Industrial and Physical Pharmacy, Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology and Pharmacy Practice (includes pharmacy administration). |
| Additional Requirements | Qualified applicants entering prepharmacy directly from high school are encouraged to file their application for admission to the College of Pharmacy after completing their junior year of high school. Applicants must rank in the upper one-half of their graduating class. The following semesters of high school work are required: English 8, history or social studies 2, algebra 2, plane geometry 2, advanced algebra 1, trigonometry 1, laboratory sciences 6, including two semesters each of biology and chemistry with two semesters of physics recommended. On the basis of the CEEB advanced placement examination results, prepharmacy students may receive advanced credits and/or advanced placement (excluding biology and chemistry). Students applying for admission to the professional program in the College of Pharmacy must complete a minimum of 60 semester hours (or equivalent) of appropriate prepharmacy course work in an accredited college. Proficiency in computer applications is also expected. The Admissions Committee considers several factors including cumulative GPA for all coursework taken after high school; individual grades in prepharmacy chemistry, biology, physiology and math courses; previous work, human service and leadership experience; letters of recommendation; ability to communicate in the English language; and reasons for wanting a pharmacy- related career. A personal on-campus interview and completion of extemporaneous writing and verbal communication exercises are required of all applicants given final consideration for admission. Students are admitted to the professional program in the College of Pharmacy only at the fall semester of each academic year. Purdue participates in the national Pharmacy College Application Service (PharmCAS) and the application deadline is December 1 (www.pharmcas. org). In addition, a secondary application to be obtained from the school (as indicated below) is also due by December 1. Students desiring the four year B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences program may apply for admission to Purdue after completing their junior year of high school. Official high school transcripts and results from SAT-I or ACT are required. Transfer students are also welcome to apply and are required to submit official transcripts from each college or university attended. Assessment of high school and/or college subjects and quality of academic record are important factors for admission. |
