College of Pharmacy
Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.)
Degree Requirements
The curriculum for the Doctor of Pharmacy degree includes a minimum
205 semester hours of college work, 140 semester hours of which must
be pharmacy courses or the equivalent. Students with course credit
for non-pharmacy courses similar to those courses in the professional
program may petition for equivalency credit. The degree plan for the
Pharm.D. program is shown below under the Pharmacy Course of Study.
Students must complete six hours in pharmacy elective courses. Three of the six pharmacy elective hours may be satisfied by completion of a special problems course (PHAR 5198, 5298, 5398). Any student may participate in a special problems course if they are in good academic standing in the College and have approval of a faculty member who
will supervise their work. Approval is gained through completion of the Undergraduate General Petition form. To participate in a special problems course the student must submit a proposal of the work that will be undertaken in this course to the faculty member at the start of the course and must submit a report at the end of the course indicating their accomplishments in the course. A copy of these reports will be placed in the student's academic file. The student cannot be paid for the activities involved in the special problems
course.
Pharmacy students are required to comply with all changes in the
curriculum made subsequent to the year in which they matriculated.
Deletions and additions of courses will be of approximately equal
credit so that no student will have an overall appreciable increase
of total credits required for graduation.
The college requires at least four years in residence in the
professional program at the college of pharmacy for graduation.
Students transferring from another school or college of pharmacy are
required to complete at least the last 30 semester hours of pharmacy
and related work in residence at the University of Houston.
