petition from the pharmacists
of Oregon led to the establish
ment of the Department of
Pharmacy 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 academics.
College of Pharmacy graduates are
eligible for licensure as pharmacists
throughout the United States.

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, and accurate.
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.
Required courses must be taken for a
letter grade; however, an exception may be
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 scientificallybased 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 grade-point
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 441, Z 442,
Z 443, 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
410).
. 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) and 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. 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 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
