Program Overview
Throughout the first three years of the curriculum are professional courses that provide you with the opportunity to:
- Integrate and apply information
- Complete projects and assignments while working in small groups
- Support the development of critical thinking
- Foster the spirit of collaboration among you and your classmates
By integrating physiology, medicinal chemistry, and pharmacology, the program gives you a broad view of how various medications interact within the human body. Courses on drug action and drug therapy are team-taught by system (i.e., cardiovascular, neurological, renal, etc.).
Early on, the curriculum places you in the laboratory, teaching and honing your compounding and dispensing skills. In fact, a broad array of introductory and advanced pharmacy practice experiences are available to you over the course of your academic tenure with the program.
The Pharm.D. degree is awarded after successful completion of four years of full-time study.
