The Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program provides a comprehensive curriculum designed to develop a generalist pharmacist capable of practicing in many different healthcare environments. During the program’s first three years, students split time between the classroom and introductory experiential learning. In the fourth year, students take part in eight, five-week clinical rotations, gaining exposure to multiple pharmacy specialty areas and practices.
