The primary objective of the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program is to educate practitioners for current and future roles in the profession of pharmacy. The PharmD program comprises four years of professional study preceded by a minimum of two years of pre-pharmacy coursework in a U.S. or foreign accredited college/university of arts and sciences. To prepare for the professional curriculum, students must complete a pre-pharmacy curriculum that emphasizes the biological and chemical sciences. Additionally, pre-pharmacy students must complete a variety of courses of their choosing in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. An early assurance program, the direct admit pathway program, is available for high-achieving first-time freshmen who wish to pursue a PharmD degree. Students enter a competitive application process in the year prior to intended matriculation to the four year professional curriculum. Details regarding the pre-pharmacy course requirements are found on the major tab.
