DETAILED INFORMATION

The innovative Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum prepares students for a broad array of careers in pharmacy. Students are admitted to the Pharm.D. program after completing a minimum of 62 semester hours (e.g., 2 years) of pre-professional collegiate study at an accredited college or university. Subsequent to admission, pharmacy students must satisfactorily complete four (4) years of professional study. Pharmacy core courses include the basic pharmaceutical sciences (i.e., infectious disease, immunology, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, pharmaceutics), followed by courses in clinical pharmacy practice (i.e., pathophysiology/therapeutics, drug information/literature evaluation, and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics), pharmacy administration (i.e., pharmaceutical economics, health care delivery) and pharmacy law. Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences which are integrated with the didactic course work are completed over the first three professional years of the curriculum. Temple University School of Pharmacy offers over 350 pharmacy practice sites for experiential education and numerous opportunities for inter-professional interactions.
The curriculum enables students to differentiate their degrees and build professional portfolios by pursuing specialty Elective Tracks and Certificates in Clinical Trials, Business, Drug Safety, and Advance Clinical Practices during the third professional year. Pharm.D. Candidates can begin to earn an MBA through the Fox School of Business or an MS in Pharmacovigilance from the RA/QA Program at the School of Pharmacy. The fourth year is comprised of 36 weeks of Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences completed under the supervision of a faculty preceptor. In addition to the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm. D.) degree, we offer the Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees in Pharmaceutics, Pharmacodynamics and Medicinal Chemistry. Additional pharmacy graduate programs include the M.S. in Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance, Pharmaceutical and Regulatory Sciences, and Global Clinical and Pharmacovigilance Regulations.
