Electives Required for Graduation
Elective courses are meant to provide students with an opportunity to further explore their interests within the realm of health care. Required electives are meant to augment knowledge, skills and values beyond those provided in the core curriculum. Students are strongly encouraged to use these elective courses to complement their professional education and broaden their careers. Students should consult with their academic advisors and regularly update their elective plan to ensure that they are fulfilling curriculum requirements.
Two didactic elective courses are required.
Students have the option to take additional electives, subject to enrollment availability or course coordinator permission.
Independent study courses must be taken on a Pass/Fail basis. Other electives must be taken for a letter grade.
Courses taken prior to admission to the Pharm.D. program cannot be used as elective credit.
