Renewed curriculum with research concentration
The renewed curriculum with a research concentration is offered to students selecting to complete a focused curriculum aimed at development of research related knowledge and skills. Students are selectively offered a position in Research Scholars based on application in the P1 year. (See the program timeline.) Students complete a longitudinal research project as part of the program. Students will take specific courses totaling 11 credit hours, with six of those credits taken in place of professional electives required in the PharmD program.
