We are targeting the program to begin the Fall 2001 quarter. Interested applicants will need to complete a minimum of two years of college before applying to our program. If you would like to give us your mailing address, we can add your name to our database so that an application will be sent as soon as it is ready. Since the specific academic requirements for admission have not been developed at this time, applicants are advised to follow a course of study common to admission to other schools of pharmacy.
Pharmacists dispense drugs prescribed by physicians and other health practitioners.
They give advice on the selection, dosages, interactions, and side effects of medications. Pharmacists in community pharmacies answer customers' questions about prescription drugs, such as possible adverse reactions and interactions. Pharmacists in hospitals and clinics dispense medications and advise the medical staff on the selection and effects of drugs. At least 5 years of study beyond high school are required to obtain a BS degree in pharmacy. A doctor of pharmacy degree normally requires at least 6 years.
