Entry-Level Doctor of Pharmacy Degree Requirements

Following admission to the professional division, the entry-level Pharm.D. program students will complete a Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Science degree prior to admission to the graduate portion of the program. Students in the entry-level Pharm.D. track who have completed the B.S. in Pharmaceutical Science degree at The University of Toledo with a 3.0 GPA are eligible for admission to the graduate portion of the Pharm.D. program provided that professional pharmacy standards and regulations are met. Students who have completed the B.S.P.S. degree with the Pharm.D. option, but who do not fully meet the eligibility requirements for admission and have a minimum of a 2.7 cumulative GPA, may be admitted provisionally to the two-year graduate portion of the Pharm.D. program after a review by the Pharmacy Admission Committee.

A formal preadmission decision to the graduate portion of the Pharm.D. program will be made at the end of the third- year while in the professional division. The final decision is contingent upon completion of the B.S.P.S. degree with a minimum GPA of 3.0 and for provisionally admitted students the stated provisions must have been satisfied. In order to graduate with the Doctor of Pharmacy degree, students must maintain a minimum of a 3.0 GPA in graduate courses as required for all graduate students.

Only students in the Pharm.D. track of the B.S.P.S. degree program will eventually qualify for state board licensure in the practice of pharmacy. To qualify, the student also must complete the graduate portion of the Pharm.D. curriculum. According to the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education, the national accrediting board for pharmacy in the United States (U.S.), all students graduating from any U.S. College of Pharmacy after June 2004, and who are seeking licensure, will be required to hold the Pharm.D. degree.

A total of 137 semester hours are required for graduation with the B.S.P.S. - Pharm.D. track degree. Eligible students then may matriculate into the graduate portion of the Pharm.D. degree (see above statement). The curriculum is outlined below.
