To practice as a licensed pharmacist in the U.S., students must complete a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree at an ACPE-accredited pharmacy school.
For admission to the University of Oklahoma College of Pharmacy, pre-pharmacy students complete approximately 64 semester hours of pre-requisite coursework. A bachelor’s degree is not required for admission. Most students complete the prerequisites in two to three calendar years.
Additionally, students can select any major they want to or they can choose just to complete the pre-pharmacy courses.
The University of Oklahoma College of Pharmacy Pharm.D. program is a four-year, full-time, professional doctoral program. Students spend the first three years in the classroom and spend the fourth year completing nine, one month rotations in various pharmacy settings including but not limited to community, hospital, clinical services, social and administrative services, and more.
