Professional Curriculum

The curriculum is designed to prepare students to enter the practice of pharmacy
after completing licensure requirements. The didactic and experiential portions of
the curriculum are integrated in such a way as to develop fundamental knowledge
while being introduced to the practice through strategically placed introductory
pharmacy practice experiences. The acquisition and application of knowledge, skills,
and attitudes necessary to become a pharmacist occurs throughout the curriculum.
The College of Pharmacy is accredited by the American Council on Pharmacy
Education in accordance with Standards 2007. The curriculum leading to the degree
