CurriculumThe Raabe College of Pharmacy at Ohio
Northern is dedicated to the education of
pharmacists who are able to assume diverse
roles in our contemporary health care system.
In addition to a comprehensive approach to
basic and pharmaceutical sciences, a strong
general education program is integrated
into the curriculum. In the first three years,
students enroll in profession of pharmacy
courses and are required to complete 300
experiential pharmacy hours outside the
classroom. Additionally, coursework in
general education disciplines; chemistry;
biological sciences; calculus; statistics; and
applied pharmacy sciences make up the first
three years, or lower division, of the six year
pharmacy program. Students work closely
with faculty members in examining their
commitment to pharmacy and especially in
understanding the possible career pathways
that are available to the successful graduate.
In the remaining years students enroll
in therapeutic modules, culminating with
a final year of advanced practice rotations
at experiential sites in forty states and five
foreign countries.
Students routinely work on minors in other
fields and a select few work on double majors,
including the unique dual degree pharmacy
law program that allows a student to finish
the Doctor of Pharmacy and Juris Doctor
degrees in seven calendar years.
Additional Requirementsgeneral requirements for admission to the
University. High school graduates entering
the pharmacy curriculum should have
completed the college preparatory course
including four years in English, four years of
mathematics and four years of science. The
successful applicant will have an ACT and/
or SAT combined score in the 90th percentile
and will be in the upper 10% of their class
with no less than a 3.5 GPA out of a possible 4.
All finalists for admission consideration will
be invited to campus for a communications
evaluation. Students are offered admission
on the basis of their qualifications and desire
to use the academic, spiritual and social resources
of the campus community to become
worthy and creative persons. The prospective student should choose this institution with
full awareness of its academic purposes and
its comprehensive objectives.
The University grants placement and credit
under the CEEB Advanced Placement Program
(AP), the International Baccalaureate
(IB) and the College-Level Examination
Program (CLEP). Additionally, any student
may earn a total of 45 quarter hours of credit
by examination.

and meet all general requirements for admission.

qualified for admission, a personal interview
is required. Transfer admissions are extremely
limited and only on a space available basis.
