at Oregon State College in 1898.
The department grew steadily and
in 1917 became the School of Pharmacy.
The pharmacy building, which was designed
and constructed specifically for pharmaceutical education, was built in 1925 and extensively remodeled and expanded in 1966.
There are many career options available
to individuals having a B.S. in pharmacy
degree. Some graduates are employed in privately-owned or chain pharmacies and practice in a community setting, while others
practice in hospitals or nursing homes. The
pharmaceutical industry offers careers in
many areas including sales, marketing, public and government relations, manufacturing, and basic research. Pharmacy graduates
are also employed in various local, state and
federal health agencies, including the U.S.
Public Health Service and the Veterans
Administration. Individuals who decide to
acquire advanced professional or graduate
training may follow a career in research and

PHARMACY INFORMATION
A student beginning a career in pharmacy
needs a combination of natural attributes,
education, training, and experience. A pharmacist has a position of considerable
responsibility in the health professions.
Carelessness can endanger lives; thus, a student going into pharmacy must be precise,
orderly, accurate, and careful with details.
Pharmacy education consists of two years
of prepharmacy study followed by three
years in the professional pharmacy program.
After completion of this five-year program
the graduate is eligible to take a licensing
exam administered by state boards of pharmacy. After passing the licensing exam and
completing required internship training, the
graduate is licensed to practice as a registered pharmacist. While time requirements
may vary from state to state, many graduates become licensed as pharmacists approximately three months after graduation from
Oregon State University.
THE PREPHARMACY PROGRAM
Required courses in the prepharmacy program may be taken at Oregon State University or any other accredited college or
university. The prepharmacy program must
be completed for the student to be considered for admission to the professional
program.
Students applying to the professional program also must complete and submit scores
for the Pharmacy College Admission Test
(PCAT) during the second prepharmacy year.
Information on the PCAT is available from
the College of Pharmacy.
Required courses must be taken for a letter grade; however, an exception may be

section on page 275.

Pharmacy
made if a course is only offered pass/no pass.
The student should make a specific request
for waiver of grade requirement directly to
the College of Pharmacy Admissions Committee prior to taking the course.
If a high school graduate fulfills the
requirements for admission to OSU, the
graduate may be admitted to the prepharmacy program in the College of Pharmacy
as a freshman. Four years of high school
mathematics, English, history/social studies,
and sciences, including chemistry, physics,
and biology, and at least two years of a foreign language, as well as speech communication are recommended.
Students from community colleges, other
colleges and universities, or other colleges at
OSU may transfer into the prepharmacy
program at any time.
THE PROFESSIONAL
PHARMACY PROGRAM
Enrollment in the three-year professional
program is limited. A student who has
completed the prepharmacy requirements
must apply directly to the College of
Pharmacy for admission to the professional pharmacy program (contact OSU
College of Pharmacy for application
forms and other information). Students
are admitted to the professional program
for fall quarter only. Students who have
completed the prepharmacy program at
other institutions must also apply for
admission to OSU (contact OSU Office of
Admissions).
Once admitted to the professional program, each student reviews his or her career
objectives with an assigned faculty adviser
and determines a program of study. The
adviser must approve the student's proposed
schedule before preregistration each term.
Students may register for only those courses
for which they have completed the stated
prerequisite courses. Students are advised
that part of their course work may require
living away from the Corvallis campus for
more than one academic term in their third
professional year.
Students in the College of Pharmacy are
required to complete 240 quarter credits to
satisfy graduation requirements.
The three year professional pharmacy program provides a broad scientifically-based
education. Through appropriate selection of
professional elective courses, a student may
concentrate in such areas as community,
clinical, geriatric, administrative, nuclear or
industrial pharmacy, or prepare for graduate
study. Eighteen quarter credits of professional electives are required.
ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS
Pharmacy students must meet the current
academic requirements of the university. In
addition, the faculty of the college has
adopted the rules listed below to assure that
all pharmacy students graduating from the
OSU College of Pharmacy have the best possible educational backgrounds.
To be eligible for graduation, students
must complete all required core courses
(pharmacy designators) with a gradepoint average of 2.00 or higher, and they
may have no more than a total of two D
grades in required, core pharmacy courses, including anatomy and physiology; in
addition only one D is allowed in the following sequence courses: Z 341, Z 342,
Z 343, Z 430, Z 431, Z 432, PHAR 317,
318, 319, 470, PHAR 323, 324, 325,
PHAR 345, 351, 449, PHAR 450, 451, 452,
PHAR 491, 492, 493, PHAR 454, 455, 456.
Students must have completed all
required core courses (pharmacy designators) with a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or
above to enroll in the Externship (PHAR
410A, B, Q.
Any student achieving a grade-point average below 2.00 in the required core courses of the professional pharmacy program,
either term or cumulative, will be placed
or continued on probation (unless subject
to suspension) in the college of Pharmacy.
Any student on probation may be
removed from probation by earning a
2.00, both term and cumulative, in the
required core courses of the professional
pharmacy program.
Any student who is on probation for two
consecutive terms or is deficient 12 or
more grade points in the required core
courses may be placed on deferred suspension or be suspended from the College
of Pharmacy.
Students placed on deferred suspension
must meet with the head adviser to develop a program of study to improve their
academic standing. Students on deferred
suspension may not be allowed to take
any pharmacy courses. Students may be
removed from deferred suspension by
improving their academic deficiencies in
pharmacy core courses in a timely fashion
(within two quarters) any by making
progress toward graduation. Failure to do
so may result in suspension from the college. Students who have been suspended
may not take any pharmacy courses.
A course in which a D or F was earned
may be repeated only once. A pharmacy
course in which a B or C grade was earned
may not be repeated for the purpose of
raising the pharmacy grade-point average.
E and I grades in required core pharmacy
courses which serve as prerequisites for
other core courses must be removed within three weeks after the next term begins.
A student on probation or deferred suspension will not be allowed to serve on
any College of Pharmacy committee or as
an officer or any College of Pharmacy
sponsored organization.
Students on probation or deferred suspension may not enroll in any pharmacy professional option courses or special topic
courses.
Credits received in pharmacy professional
option courses or special topic courses in
which a grade of D+ or less is received will
NOT apply to completion of the 18 hour
professional option requirement. Beginning spring quarter 1991, only courses in
which a grade of C- or above is achieved
will apply to the option requirement.
Only students enrolled in the College of
Pharmacy are allowed to enroll in professional option courses for the purposes of
accumulating credits toward a degree in
pharmacy.
The faculty reaffirms the policy that any student may petition the College of Pharmacy
Academic Requirements Committee for
deviation from the college's academic
requirements.
WITHDRAWAL
A student who leaves the college via withdrawal must contact the head adviser at
least two weeks prior to the term for which
the student wishes to re-enroll. Transcripts
of all class work attempted after withdrawal
must be provided.
FIELD TRIPS
Students may take field trips including visits
to pharmaceutical companies. As guests of a
pharmaceutical firm, they are provided with
lodging and meals.
WICHE PROGRAM
The College of Pharmacy accepts students
supported through the Western Interstate
Commission for Higher Education (WICHE)
Professional Student Exchange Program.
This interstate program provides the opportunity for students from the 13 cooperating
states to obtain professional training not
available in their home states.
Further information regarding the WICHE
program may be obtained by writing to the
state certifying officer or to the WICHE Professional Student Exchange Program, P.O.
