During the third through sixth years, students must maintain a 2.00 qpa in required professional courses in order to remain in the program. No student will be allowed to begin the sixth year of experiential training without a 2.00 professional qpa. Student must achieve a 2.20 qpa in professional coursework to graduate. They may repeat up to 10 credits of pharmacy courses in order to achieve this requirement.

The six year entry-level curriculum is presented below for your information. Professional and/or legal exigencies arise from time to time which may necessitate changes in a pharmacy course, progression, and/or graduation requirements. Students should review their status with academic advisors on a timely basis and refer to current publications for updated information.
