Intern hours must be documented as specified on the internship forms, and filed with the State Board prior to applying to sit for the state licensure examination. For students who are candidates for the Doctor of Pharmacy Degree, a number of hours from the academic program will be applicable to the hourly internship requirement. However, neither the specific number of hours required for licensure, nor the exact number of clock hours to be credited from the academic program have yet been determined by the Massachusetts Board. Students should inquire at the Registrar's Office for information regarding internship or licensure applications for any jurisdiction. The College holds several orientation programs during the summer for incoming students to familiarize them with the College, its facilities, faculty and staff.
Orientation is a required program for all new and transfer students.
Previously offered sessions during Orientation included information about Financial Aid, Academic Services, Advising and Registration. Orientation also gives returning students the opportunity to get involved, to greet new students, and to share their knowledge and experiences of the College. Student Orientation Leaders assist with all aspects of this event. The College maintains a placement service for both graduates and undergraduates. In the spring and fall, prospective employers come to the campus to interview final year students for potential employment.
