The doctor of pharmacy program is accredited by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education. Individuals who complete this program will meet the same terminal performance objectives as students who complete the school's traditional doctor of pharmacy program. Although each student brings to the program a different level of practical experience, knowledge and skill developed throughout a practice career, there will not be any assessment of prior learning and no didactic credit will be given. All didactic coursework must be completed in a given tier before moving to the next tier. Tiers 1 and 2 must be completed within three years after program initiation.
Didactic coursework is available on a self-instructional basis with strong faculty support.
Experiential rotations utilize practice sites in a variety of locations. In addition to receiving academic credit towards the requirements for the doctor of pharmacy degree, it also enables individuals to receive academic credit on a nondegree basis. This program is designed to serve as a vehicle to deliver a desired core of unique expertise and experience in contemporary, clinically-oriented pharmacy practice.
