| Curriculum | The Oregon State University Pharm.D. program is a four-year professional curriculum that includes courses in professional practice and law, pharmacology, pathophysiology and therapeutics, pharmacokinetics, pharmaceutics, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, drug literature evaluation, and drug use policy. Students spend their first two years on the OSU campus at Corvallis, Oregon, and the third year at our satellite campus in Portland, Oregon. Before entering the third professional year, students must complete a baccalaureate degree in an area of interest to them. In the fourth professional year, students complete supervised, off-campus clerkships in various pharmacy practice sites located throughout the state and region. Seven sixweek clerkships must be completed. Students may choose clerkships that fit their specific career interests. |
| Additional Requirements | To be eligible for admission to OSU’s Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) program, prospective students must complete a series of prerequisite courses. These can be completed at OSU or another college or university. Prospective students interested in enrolling at OSU to complete the prerequisite courses must submit OSU’s application for undergraduate admission which is available online at http://oregonstate.edu/admissions/ index.php. At a minimum, prospective applicants to Oregon State University’s Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) program must: 1. complete all of OSU’s pre-pharmacy requirements by June of the year seeking admission (June 2011 for September 2012 matriculation), 2. have at least a 2.75 PharmCAS Science GPA for in-state applicants and a 3.0 PharmCAS Science GPA for out-of-state applicants, 3. have excellent written and interpersonal communication skills. Applications to OSU’s Pharm.D. program are handled through the Pharmacy College Ap plication Service (PharmCAS). PharmCAS is an on-line application service that allows applicants to apply to multiple schools using a single application. Prior to submitting the application, applicants are strongly encouraged to read all the application instructions provided by PharmCAS and the PharmCAS School Page for Oregon State University. All applications to the OSU Pharm.D. program are submitted to PharmCAS. Applications are available in early June. Applicants must completely fill out the PharmCAS application, submit transcripts directly to PharmCAS, have letters of recommendation sent directly to PharmCAS, and pay all required application fees. A supplemental application and fee are required of all applicants. Incomplete and/or late applications will not be considered. Selected applicants will be invited to campus for an interview. Interest in the field of pharmacy, interpersonal communication skills, and written communication skills are some of the traits evaluated during the interview. Applications for fall 2012 are due on December 1, 2011. Newly admitted students start the Pharm.D. program each September. While a majority of students admitted to the Pharm.D. program at Oregon State are from Oregon, exceptional out-of-state students are encouraged to apply. |
