CurriculumThe pre-pharmacy curriculum for admission
to the doctor of pharmacy program at
Campbell University is designed to ensure a
student’s basic understanding of the sciences
as well as liberal arts. The curriculum consists
of a strong core in the physical sciences in
addition to mathematics and communications skills. The liberal arts component is
prescribed to ensure that students receive a
well-rounded education and can converse
well with their peers and society upon
graduation.
The foundation of the professional curriculum
at the College of Pharmacy & Health
Sciences is constructed similar to medical
schools today. Students receive two years of
basic sciences with training in pharmaceutical
sciences courses that include anatomy
and physiology, biochemistry, immunology,
medical microbiology, pharmacology,
and pharmaceutics. The last two years of
the program are designated for the clinical
science portion of the curriculum. Students
complete courses in diagnosis and therapeutics,
in addition to clinical clerkships in
the areas of internal medicine, cardiology,
pulmonary medicine, pediatrics, geriatrics,
ambulatory care, emergency medicine, infectious
diseases, metabolic support, and drug
information. Clerkships in several other
clinical disciplines are available.
Campbell University College of Pharmacy &
Health Sciences provides a unique learning
environment where Doctor of Pharmacy
students may concurrently pursue an additional
master’s degree. Qualified students
may choose to complete a Master in Business
Administration, Master of Science in Clinical
Research, or Master of Science in Pharmaceutical
Sciences while obtaining their Doctor of
Pharmacy degree. By completing one of the
three joint degree programs, students have
the opportunity to differentiate themselves
from their peers with the additional educational
experience. The outcome is a more
diversified graduate with greater options
for advancement and success in a variety of
health care positions.
The College offers a bachelor’s and master’s
degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences. The bachelor’s
degree is designed to prepare graduates
for technical careers in pharmaceutical and
related industries. The Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences prepares individuals
to enter a fulfilling career in the pharmaceutical
or biotechnology industry or provides
career advancement for current industry
professionals.
The College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences
offers two programs to prepare students for
distinguished careers in clinical research. The
bachelor’s level program is ideally suited to
prepare clinical monitors or coordinators
for work in contract research organizations
(CRO’s), pharmaceutical companies, or academia.
The master’s level program is intended
to provide training for individuals who hold
degrees in the health-related professions
such as human and veterinary medicine,
pharmacy, dentistry, nursing, and the allied
health fields. Graduates who complete this
degree have the opportunity to progress from
project leader/manager to clinical directors
and higher level positions.
