D. degree program educates students to achieve the same outcomes as the entry level Pharm. D. program but is designed to meet the needs of working pharmacists. Didactic courses are scheduled in the evenings at Ft. Lauderdale, and broadcast live by compressed interactive video to Ft. Myers, Jacksonville, Orlando, Sarasota, Tampa, and West Palm Beach, Florida, and San Juan and Ponce, Puerto Rico.
Students vary course loads according to their work schedules.
Coordinators at each distant site provide guidance and assistance to students assuring communication among students and faculty at all sites. Additional communications are provided through online technologies including e-mail, bulletin boards and live online classrooms. The curriculum stresses innovative teaching, delivery and assessment methods. This approach provides flexibility for the students. The Doctor of Pharmacy degree is awarded after successful completion of the required professional curriculum at the College of Pharmacy.
