This program was approved as a post-baccalaureate program in 1987, but was not implemented until 1994. With the new changes, the program would become the first professional degree program in Pharmacy and would replace the BS program. This discussion was for information purposes only and no action was required by the Council. It was also recommended that we should accept courses only if the granting institution has considered them as resident credit. After discussing this question, the Council decided that it would be best to keep the instructions as they are currently.
Different departments have different ways in which they conduct their students' exams.
Some departments allow anyone to attend, others restrict attendance to faculty members only, and some allow only the student's committee members. The Council concluded that the current system seemed to be working well and they saw no reason to try to enforce uniformity in this area. This discussion pertained only to the presentation portion, and not to committee examination and discussion.
