Pharm.D.
The Pharm.D. program extends over six years of study, including two years of pre-pharmacy followed by four professional years (P1, P2, P3 and P4) of pharmacy education.
Professional Year 4 Curriculum (27 credits)
The P4 curriculum applies only to Pharm.D. students. It encompasses all the Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPEs) that include nine clerkship rotations of which four are required and five are electives for a total of 1,440 hours. The four required APPEs are conducted in the United States or its territories or possessions (District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands).
