| Curriculum | The innovative Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum prepares students for a broad array of careers in pharmacy. Students are admitted to the Pharm.D. Program after completing a minimum of 63 semester hours (e.g., 2 years) of pre-professional collegiate study at an accredited college or university. Subsequent to admission, pharmacy students must satisfactorily complete four (4) years of professional study. The Curriculum is comprised of courses in the pharmaceutical sciences (anatomy/physiology, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, pharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics/ dynamics and pharmacogenomics); the clinical sciences (pathophysiology/ therapeutics, drug information/literature evaluation, and clinical pharmacokinetics); pharmacy administration (pharmaceutical economics, health care delivery) and pharmacy law. Introductory Practice Experiences (IPPEs) which are integrated with the didactic course work are completed over the first three professional years of the curriculum. The IPPEs have been designed to reinforce knowledge and skills learned in the didactic curriculum while providing students with the opportunity to prepare for the Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences. Third year students select from a diverse array of elective courses and have the opportunity to differentiate their degree by completing an elective track. Available tracks include Advanced Clinical Practice, Clinical Research, Drug Safety and Nuclear Pharmacy. A Business track is also offered through a collaborative agreement between the School of Pharmacy and the University’s Fox School of Business and Management. Faculty offer opportunities for students to participate in research projects conducted in the lab or in the clinical setting. The fourth year is comprised of 36 weeks of Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences completed under the supervision of faculty preceptors. In addition to the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.), we offer Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees in Pharmaceutics, Pharmacodynamics and Medicinal Chemistry. Our Master of Science program in Quality Assurance/Regulatory (QA/RA) is the most comprehensive in the world. |
