| Curriculum | The College of Pharmacy offers a four-year program of study leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree. The four-year program consists of three years comprised of a combination of didactic instruction and introductory pharmacy practice experiences followed by a fourth year comprised entirely of advanced pharmacy practice experiences. In total, the program contains 146 semester hours of didactic and experiential courses. There is an emphasis on the integration of faith, learning and living, the development of Christian scholarship, the promotion of Christian ethics, and the promotion of citizenship within a global perspective through participation in mission efforts. Once admitted to the Harding University College of Pharmacy, students benefit from the close ties the University has already forged with public and private institutions throughout the world. As an example, students will have the opportunity to gain clinical education at a medical mission point in Namwianga, Kolomo, Zambia. Students will also benefit from interactions with those in Harding’s other health sciences programs including nursing and physician assistant students. |
| Additional Requirements | Admission requires completion of a minimum of 90 semester hours of preprofessional education at an accredited college or university. Application can be made after the completion of 60 semester hours of college coursework. Qualified applicants are invited to visit the College of Pharmacy for a required personal interview. Because admission information is updated regularly, applicants should verify current requirements on the College of Pharmacy Web site (www.harding. edu/pharmacy). The most current admission information will always be posted at this site. Applicants must possess a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.75 on a 4.0 scale on all previous college work. Grades below “C” cannot be accepted for any math or science course. No more than 6 hours of CLEP or credit by examination will be accepted to meet the pre-pharmacy requirements; such credit must be listed on the official transcript. Advanced Placement (AP) credit may be used to satisfy prerequisite coursework provided that the AP credit is accepted by the applicant’s institution and is posted on the applicant’s official academic transcript. Allprepharmacy course requirements must be satisfied prior to matriculation. Applicants are required to take the Pharmacy College Admissions Test (PCAT) and must have their scores sent to PharmCAS (code 104). In addition to PCAT scores, applicants must submit three letters of reference that focus on the applicant’s academic and professional abilities. Having at least one reference from a pharmacist is highly recommended. Official transcripts from all colleges previously attended should also be sent to PharmCAS. Prospective pharmacy students are strongly encouraged to obtain work experience in a pharmacy setting. An example of appropriate experience is as a pharmacy technician in either a hospital or community pharmacy. |
