Curriculum
The doctor of pharmacy is a four-year program requiring six semesters of coursework in the classroom and ten months of experiential practice. The curriculum prepares students not only for the critical-thinking and problem-solving skills they'll need to make the right decisions about medications, but also gives them the personal-interaction experience that is critical to understanding the practice of pharmaceutical care.
