Pharm.D. Graduate Professional Electives
The following is a list of recommended graduate professional electives. A total of 7 credit hours of graduate professional electives is required. Other electives may be chosen with the written approval of the CPPS Curriculum Committee. A graduate course which significantly overlaps in content with a course used to fulfill the undergraduate professional elective requirement will not count towards fulfilling the graduate professional elective requirement. Credit for courses taken outside The University of Toledo can be counted towards professional elective credit requirements if a grade of C or better is earned, but grades will not be factored into CPPS or University of Toledo GPA calculations.
