The College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (CPPS) prepares students for careers in the pharmaceutical sciences and the profession of pharmacy. Those who do not seek professional licensure may work in the pharmaceutical industry, at a university, in regulatory affairs, or other healthcare fields. Those who enter the profession of pharmacy provide direct patient care while working with other healthcare professionals in a variety of practice settings.

The curriculum as outlined in the current catalog is subject to modifications with immediate implementation to keep pace with changing trends in pharmaceutical education and in accordance with accreditation standards. Pre-Professional and Professional division curricular requirements for the degree programs will be those listed in the catalog for the years in which the student enters the respective division. The CPPS reserves the right to change its policies and procedures at any time. These changes will be binding on the date they are approved by faculty action.
