| Curriculum | The entry-level Pharm.D. program is designed for high school graduates or transfer students. The two year pre-pharmacy program includes courses in the basic sciences and humanities. The first three years of the professional pharmacy program (P1-P3) includes coursework designed to expand students’ knowledge and skills in pharmaceutical and clinical sciences in addition to introductory pharmacy practice experiences. The final professional year (P4) focuses on advanced pharmacy practice experiences - from the application and communication of clinical and pharmaceutical sciences to patient care. |
