First Year

| Fourth Year
The curriculum for the Doctor of Pharmacy degree includes a minimum of
212 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 or pharmacy courses from another college/school of pharmacy similar
to those courses in the professional program may be petitioned for equivalency
credit. The degree plan for the Pharm.D. program is shown below under
the Pharmacy Course of Study.
Electives
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, 5398). Any student may participate
in a Special Problem 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 Problem 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 files.
Credit Hours
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.
Hours in Residence
The college requires at least three 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 25% of the semester hours of pharmacy and related work in residence
at the University of Houston.
