Academic Programs PharmD Program The School of Pharmacy offers a four year program leading to the entry-level Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree. The curriculum of the PharmD Program is designed to provide students with the scientific background and clinical skills necessary to render pharmaceutical care in a changing health care system. The limited class enrollment allows for individualized attention from instructors while still enjoying the benefits of attending a large university. PhD Program in Pharmaceutical Outcomes Research & Policy This graduate program in Pharmaceutical Sciences offers advanced study in the disciplines essential to evaluating the relationship between pharmaceuticals, medical care, and health and economic outcomes. The field of pharmaceutical outcomes research is concerned with broader outcomes than simply the desired biological or physiological effects of pharmaceuticals, such as long-term morbidity, quality of life, and cost effectiveness. In addition, the need for better information about the economics and societal implications of drug therapy has fostered a growing interest in pharmaceutical policy research. External PharmD Program An External PharmD program is available for those pharmacists who would like to pursue an advanced degree beyond the pharmacy baccalaureate degree. This program is specifically designed for licensed pharmacists who wish to earn a PharmD degree while continuing their current employment. |
