Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) Curriculum


A bachelor's degree must be earned by the end of the second professional year for those students admitted without a B.S. degree. A path to earn a B.S. degree in general science from Oregon State has been developed in cooperation with the College of Science.
