Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm D)
The program of study leading to pharmacy licensure is the entry-level Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.). Students seeking a degree that will lead to pharmacy licensure will need to complete two years of prerequisite course work prior to matriculation into the professional division of the College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (CPPS). Following the completion of the prerequisite coursework, students will apply to the professional division. Admission to the professional division of the college is competitive.
Following admission to the professional division, the entry-level Pharm.D. program students will complete a Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences (BSPS) degree prior to more focused course work in pharmacotherapy and the practice of pharmacy. Students in the entry-level Pharm.D. track who have completed the BSPS degree at The University of Toledo are eligible to continue in the Pharm.D. program.
To graduate with a Pharm.D. degree, students must meet the current academic performance standards. Only students who successfully complete the Pharm.D. degree will qualify for pharmacy licensure. A total of 129.5 semester hours is required for graduation with the BSPS-Pharm.D. track degree. A total of 69 graduate semester hours is required for graduation with the Pharm.D. degree. The curriculum is outlined below.

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.
