A significant number of applicants to the program have a baccalaureate degree, although a prior degree is not required for admission. For more information about actual course work, contact the Office of Academic Affairs in the College of Pharmacy. Prospective pharmacy students should contact the College early in their prepharmacy career for guidance. Promotion is not automatic and must be earned on the basis of performance. The APC regularly reviews each student's performance and makes recommendations on such actions as promotion, probation, remediation, dismissal, graduation and leaves of absence.
Graduation requires successful completion of all course work and faculty approval.
Because the curriculum of the College of Pharmacy integrates material from a variety of courses in which the student is enrolled, part time study is extraordinarily difficult and is allowed only in unusual cases. Students allowed such an option must plan a course of study through the Academic Affairs office and with the approval of the Academic Performance Committee. The College reserves the right to alter such a plan unilaterally should curricular changes or significant changes in course content occur while a student in part time study is enrolled.
