Doctor of Pharmacy Course Sequencing

The Doctor of Pharmacy is a six-academic year program, given that acceptance into the program is directly from high school. Each academic year corresponds to a level with P1 being the first year’s level of the program and P6 being the last year’s level of the program. To progress through the program there are both academic and non-academic requirements. The courses associated with each academic year are listed below. Additional requirements for forward progression in the program can be found in the College of Pharmacy Student Handbook.
