Students admitted in the non-traditional pathway may register and take didactic and laboratory courses on the Purdue campus if they meet the prerequisites, there is capacity in the course and they can attend the classes regularly to complete the requirements. Transfer of nontraditional program students to the traditional program for clerkship is restricted by the conditions of space available in the traditional program class, sufficient lead time for clerkship scheduling, and student intention to complete the clerkships as a continuing full-time student. In the event there is more than one NTDP student desiring to be given a space in the traditional pathway program, the NTDP Advisory Committee will take responsibility for action on the NTDP student requests for pathway transfer. STAT 503 or its equivalent is a prerequisite to the Drug Information Services and Literature Evaluation course. This includes six-eight academic sessions of didactic course work and 28 weeks of advanced clerkship that can be completed over two to three years.
Fees are subject to change without published notice and usually increase on an annual basis.
Since the Pharm. D. program at Purdue is considered an advanced professional egree, it does not come under the jurisdiction of the Graduate School. D. students are not eligible for assistantships, fellowships, or stipends. However, students may be eligible for various loan programs which are available to qualified individuals. Academic potential is evaluated on the basis of the applicant's undergraduate record, performance in post-graduate courses or certificate programs, and professional development as a pharmacist.
