| Curriculum | The curriculum is designed to provide students with the cultural and humanistic background needed to meet the demands of society today, as well as the professional knowledge and skill required for the practice of pharmacy in whatever setting the students may later choose. In the first two years of the curriculum (prepharmacy), emphasis is placed on chemical, biological, administrative, behavioral or social sciences, and humanities needed for the four-year professional pharmacy curriculum. The third, fourth and fifth years provide the students with the professional educational background necessary for the sixth year of clinical rotations. In addition to general adult medicine, students may pursue rotations in specialized areas of interest such as pediatrics, oncology, nutrition, infectious disease, pharmacokinetics, cardiology, family practice, ambulatory care, critical care, rural health, managed care, endocrinology, psychiatry and rehabilitation. |
| Additional Requirements | The prepharmacy program is open to all high school graduates and college transfer students who have not completed the requirements to enter the professional pharmacy curriculum. To enter the prepharmacy program students must obtain admission to the University. A student enrolling as a freshman or sophomore must have taken the ACT or SAT and have graduated from high school with a minimum of 17 academic units, of which at least 4 must be in English, 3 in mathematics, and 3 in laboratory courses in the physical and biological sciences. Three units in social sciences and 6 units of humanities and fine arts are required. In addition, a transfer student must submit transcripts of all previous college or university work for equivalency evaluation. Students may apply for admission to the professional pharmacy program upon satisfactory completion of the prepharmacy program or evidence that this program will be successfully completed. The prepharmacy program is composed of 66 semester credits. A copy of the prepharmacy curriculum may be obtained by writing to the College, or by checking the Web site. Admission to the University does not grant admission to the professional program. All students must apply and be formally accepted by the Admissions Committee of the College of Pharmacy before they may begin the sequence of professional courses in the Pharm.D. The size of the entering class is limited by the resources of the College and the capacity of the clinical facilities. As North Dakota State University is a state supported institution, residents of North Dakota will be given first consideration. A cumulative GPA of 3.0 (4.0 = A) is required for evaluation. Acceptance to the professional program is based on previous academic performance, PCAT scores, interview scores, other standardized assessments conducted simultaneously with interviews, the applicant’s residency and the number of spaces available in the program. Opportunities are provided for students to demonstrate evidence of college level achievement through the use of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), for prepharmacy placement. |
