Course Overview

The BS/PharmD is for the academically outstanding student with strong, realistic motivation toward the pharmacy profession. Initial study at the University of Hartford allows you to complete the general education and basic science requirements for the BS in health sciences degree and the prerequisites necessary for pharmacy school.

The BS degree is awarded by the University of Hartford following the successful completion of the first year of graduate study. Students who are not in the accelerated program typically complete the BS degree in four years at the University of Hartford.

The pharmacy program requires four years of combined academic and clinical training leading to the PharmD degree, which is a prerequisite for licensure eligibility in the United States. The Notre Dame of Maryland University School of Pharmacy provides students with a four-year professional pharmacy curriculum.
