The Oregon State
University College of
Pharmacy is a member
of the American
Association of
Colleges of Pharmacy.
Its objective is to
contribute to the
improvement of public
health and welfare
through dissemination,
expansion, and
application of
knowledge. In so
doing, the college
provides an
instructional program
assuring academic and
technical proficiency
in the basic sciences
and their
pharmaceutical
application.
A
petition from the pharmacists
of Oregon led to the
establishment of the
Department of Pharmacy at
Oregon State College in 1898. The
department grew steadily and in 1917
became the School of Pharmacy. In 1983
it became the College of Pharmacy.
There are many career options available
to individuals having a 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
Professional pharmacy education has
changed both in Oregon and throughout
the United States. To be eligible for
admission to the PharmD program,
students must complete a required prepharmacy curriculum, which will require
approximately three years of college
study. Completion of the pharmacy
professional program requires an additional four years.
After completion of the four-year
professional pharmacy 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 PRE-PHARMACY PROGRAM
Required courses in the pre-pharmacy
program may be taken at Oregon State
University or any other accredited college
or university. The pre-pharmacy program
must be completed prior to beginning 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 at OSU 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.

College of Pharmacy
Early Admission Program
The Early Admission Program is intended to guarantee highly qualified
students admitted to Oregon State
University the opportunity to enter the
College of Pharmacy Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program after the
successful completion of the program
prerequisites and the maintenance of
certain academic criteria.
Eligibility
To be eligible for admission to the
College of Pharmacy Doctor of Pharmacy Early Admission Program, you
must meet the following minimum
criteria:
• You must be admitted to Oregon State
University.
• First-year students (entering from high
school) must have a high school GPA
of 3.5 or SAT 1200 or ACT 25.
OR
• College transfers (students transferring
to OSU for their second year only) or
students already at OSU in their first
year must have a high school GPA of
3.5 or SAT 1200 or ACT 25 and a
transfer college GPA of 3.25 or an OSU
GPA of 3.25.
Second, third- and fourth-year college
students and students with a college
degree are not eligible for the Early
Admission Program.
For more information or to request an
application, visit http://
pharmacy.oregonstate.edu/ or call
(541) 737-3424. Students planning their
academic course work should be sure to
speak with a pharmacy adviser.
THE PROFESSIONAL PHARMACY
PROGRAM
Enrollment in the four-year professional
program is limited. A student who has
completed at least the first two years of
pre-pharmacy study must apply directly
to the College of Pharmacy for admission to the professional pharmacy
program. Contact the OSU College of
Pharmacy for application forms and
other information or visit the college
Web site at http://pharmacy.
oregonstate.edu. Students are admitted
to the professional program beginning
fall term only.
Once admitted to the professional
program, each student is assigned a
faculty adviser. Students may register for
only those courses for which they have
completed the stated prerequisite
courses. Exceptions are allowed only
after approval by the college Academic
and Professional Standards Committee.
Students will complete the first two
years of their course work on the Oregon
State University campus. The third
professional year will be at the College
of Pharmacy Satellite Campus at Oregon
Health and Science University in
Portland, Oregon. Most students choose
to live in the Portland area during the
third year. The fourth year will be offcampus at various pharmacy practice sites
throughout the state of Oregon and the
Northwest including Hawaii. Contact the
college directly for additional information
about the PharmD curriculum.
Immunization and vaccination
requirements for PharmD students are
more strict than for other university
students. PharmD students must satisfy
all college immunization and vaccination requirements before starting classes.
Failure to meet these requirements may
delay enrollment.
The four-year professional pharmacy
program provides a broad, scientifically
based education. Through appropriate
selection of professional elective courses
in the fourth year, a student may
concentrate in such areas as community,
clinical, geriatric, administrative,
industrial pharmacy, or prepare for
graduate study.
Pharmacy students are expected to
develop a scholarly attitude toward the
experimental basis of pharmacy. During
the professional curriculum, students are
required to complete advanced human
anatomy and physiology laboratories.
These laboratories may include the use
of human cadavers and live animals and
are designed to complement other
didactic courses in the curriculum. In all
instances, the animals are humanely
treated and anesthetized if the procedures are deemed painful; animals are
humanely euthanized at the termination
of the laboratory exercises.
The pharmacy profession is experiencing profound changes in its practice and
in its education for that practice. These
changes include an increased orientation
toward patient care in addition to the
traditional study of pharmaceutical
products. All students will be required to
give immunizations (shots), take medical
histories from patients, and perform
physical examinations. These experiences
will involve the asking of sensitive
questions and physically touching other
people. In the fourth professional year,
students are assigned to off-campus
practice sites where they are supervised
by licensed pharmacists who are courtesy
faculty members of the college. Practice
sites are located primarily throughout
Oregon. Completion of practicum
courses at these off-campus practice sites
generally requires up to 40 hours per
week at the practice site. Practicum
experience may include nights, evenings,
and weekends. Practice sites are varied
but include community pharmacies,
hospitals, long-term care facilities, and
outpatient clinics. Students must possess
a valid Oregon pharmacy intern license
to be eligible for placement in offcampus practicum courses.
387
Academic performance is not the sole
criterion for admission to and/or
continuation in certain courses in the
College of Pharmacy, such as externships
and clerkships. In addition, the college
may find it necessary to evaluate a
person’s background to determine his or
her likelihood of maintaining standards
of professional conduct and performance that are necessary in the pharmacy profession. An evaluation may
take into consideration current performance, as well as past experience and
actions. A valid Oregon Intern license is
required for enrollment in the externship
and clerkships.
To become licensed by the state of
Oregon to practice pharmacy, an
individual must meet at least three
criteria:
1. Possess a baccalaureate or PharmD
degree in pharmacy from an accredited
U.S. college of pharmacy,
2. Pass the Oregon Board of Pharmacy
examination, and
3. Complete the Oregon Board of
Pharmacy internship requirements.
A criminal record or a criminal record
involving illegal drugs may make
graduation from the pharmacy program
at Oregon State University and/or
licensure by the Oregon Board of
Pharmacy impossible.
ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL
STANDARDS
Doctor of Pharmacy students must meet
university academic regulations and
adhere to the university student code of
conduct. University academic regulations are published three times a year in
the Schedule of Classes. Student conduct
rules and expectations can be found on
the OSU Web site at http://
oregonstate.edu/admin/stucon/.
In addition, the College of Pharmacy
faculty has adopted the requirements
listed below to assure that all pharmacy
graduates have the best possible educational background and preparation for
their pharmacy practice careers. In some
cases the College of Pharmacy academic
standards and requirements are stricter
than the university academic regulations.
1. Four years are normally required to
complete the PharmD program.
Students must graduate with the
PharmD degree within five years of
beginning the program. For example, a
student beginning the professional
program in September 2002 must
graduate by September 2007.
2. To advance to the third professional
year and enroll in classes on the
college’s Portland campus, students:
a. Must successfully complete* all core
classes in the first two professional
years with a cumulative GPA of at
least 2.00;
388
Oregon State University
b. Can have no more than one “D”
grade in required core pharmacy
courses; and
c. Must have earned a bachelor’s
degree.
3. To enroll in off-campus, practicum
courses in the fourth professional year,
students:
a. Must successfully complete all core
pharmacy classes in the first three
professional years with a cumulative
GPA of at least 2.00;
b. Can have no more than two “D”
grades in required core pharmacy
courses and no more than one “D”
grade in a core course sequence.
4. To graduate with the PharmD degree,
students:
a. Must successfully complete all
professional core pharmacy courses
with a cumulative GPA of at least
2.00 and receive a passing grade for
all off-campus, practicum courses;
and
b. Can have no more than two “D”
grades in required core pharmacy
courses and no more than one D
grade in a core course sequence.
5. A professional core pharmacy course in
which a grade of less than “C-” was
earned may be repeated once for the
purpose of raising the pharmacy GPA
or earning a passing grade. The last
grade recorded will be used to calculate
the pharmacy core GPA.
6. Students may register for only those
courses for which they have completed
the stated prerequisite courses.
Exceptions are allowed only with
approval of the college’s Academic and
Professional Standards Committee. It is
the student’s responsibility to avoid
enrollment in, or to de-enroll from,
any course for which he or she lacks a
required prerequisite. Enrollment in a
course for which the student lacks the
required prerequisite could result in a
failing grade for that course.
7. Incompletes, an “I” grade, (see
Academic Regulation 17 in the
Schedule of Classes) in required
professional pharmacy courses that
serve as prerequisites for other professional courses must be removed within
three weeks after the next term begins.
Failure to remove the ‘incomplete’
within those three weeks could result in
a failing grade for the subsequent
course.
The assistant dean for Student Affairs
and the College of Pharmacy Academic
and Professional Standards Committee
are responsible for enforcing these
standards. The committee and the
assistant dean have authority to develop
guidelines for the administration of
these standards.
Any student may petition the
Academic and Professional Standards
Committee for permission to deviate
from the standards. Petition forms are
available at 203 Pharmacy Building.
*“Successfully complete” is defined as
receiving a grade of “D” or higher and
removal of all ‘incomplete’ grades. Core
pharmacy courses include all pharmacy
professional courses. In addition,
anatomy (Z 441, 442, 443), biochemistry
(BB 490, 491, 492), and physiology
(Z 430, 431, and 432) grades will be
included in the core pharmacy GPA if
these courses were taken after starting
the PharmD professional program.
ACADEMIC STANDING
At the conclusion of each quarter and at
the end of each academic year, the grade
point average (see University Academic
Regulation 19 in the Schedule of Classes)
in core pharmacy courses is calculated
and academic standing in the college is
determined according to the criteria
outline below. Core pharmacy courses
include all pharmacy professional
courses. In addition, anatomy (Z 441,
442, 443), biochemistry (BB 490, 491,
492), and physiology (Z 430, 431, and
432) grades will be included in the core
pharmacy GPA if these courses were
taken after starting the PharmD professional program.
Academic Warning
Students with a term or cumulative core
pharmacy course GPA between 2.00 and
2.35 and/or receiving a grade less than
“C” in a term will be placed on Academic Warning.
Academic Probation
Students with a term GPA less than 2.00
but with a cumulative core pharmacy
GPA greater than 2.00 will be placed on
Academic Probation. Students on
Academic Probation for a total of two
terms while enrolled in the college are
eligible for Suspension.
Students who have a subsequent term
GPA above a 2.00 (pharmacy core
courses) will be removed from Academic
Probation.
Deferred Suspension
Students with a cumulative core
pharmacy GPA of less than 2.00 will be
placed on Deferred Suspension. Students
on Deferred Suspension are eligible for Suspension.
The status of a student on Deferred
Suspension in the college will be
reviewed at least quarterly by the
Academic and Professional Standards
Committee. After review, the committee
may recommend suspension if, for
example, the student has not complied
with his/her program of study, failed to
make reasonable progress in the program, or if the student’s core GPA has
fallen. Students on Deferred Suspension
must meet with the assistant dean for
Student Affairs to develop a program of
study to improve their academic
standing and make reasonable progress
in the curriculum. These students may
not be allowed to take any pharmacy
courses. Students who attain a cumulative core pharmacy GPA greater than
2.00 will be removed from Deferred
Suspension and placed on Academic
Warning for at least one term.
Suspension
Students who are on Deferred Suspension
and have a subsequent term GPA of less
than 2.00 in core courses will be suspended
from the college. Failure to make reasonable progress in the pharmacy curriculum
may also result in suspension. A student
who has been in good academic standing
may be suspended for significant academic
failure and/or significant breaches of
expected professional conduct including
criminal activities or academic dishonesty
or significant breaches of university
student conduct (see Web site: http://
osu.orst.edu/admin/stucon). All student
cases involving possible suspension are
reviewed by the Academic and Professional Standards Committee. The
committee’s decision is then communicated to the assistant dean for Student
Affairs.
The assistant dean for Student Affairs
and the Academic and Professional
Standards Committee are responsible for
enforcement of the college’s Academic
Requirements. The committee and
assistant dean have authority to develop
guidelines for administration of these
requirements. Guidelines, policies, and
procedures are approved by the college
faculty. Any student may petition the
committee for deviation from the
college’s Academic Requirements by
completing the College of Pharmacy
petition form. These petitions are
available at 203 Pharmacy Building.
WITHDRAWAL
A student who leaves the college via
withdrawal must contact the assistant
dean for Student Affairs 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.
ADMISSION STANDARDS
The College of Pharmacy endeavors to
admit students who have the academic
and individual ability to complete the
rigorous Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum, meet State Board of Pharmacy
licensing standards, and become highly
competent and caring pharmacists.
Persons admitted must possess the
intelligence, character, integrity, compassion, humanitarian concern, and
physical and mental health necessary to
practice pharmacy.
College of Pharmacy
Admission to the PharmD program is
highly competitive and limited in
number. From a typical pool of several
hundred applicants, a subset with the
highest prior academic achievement in
required pre-pharmacy courses, strong
written communication skills, favorable
letters of recommendation, and an
overall understanding of and commitment to a health career as demonstrated
in their application materials are invited
for a personal interview. Further
assessment of the candidate’s relevant
traits is made during the interview. Not
all applicants are chosen for an interview and not all of those who are
interviewed are admitted. Admission
decisions are based on all available
relevant information and the following
three primary considerations:
a. Academic ability – completion of and
grade point average in pre-pharmacy
coursework. A student’s background
and knowledge, especially in the
chemical and biological sciences, must
be current and up-to-date. Each
applicant’s coursework is evaluated
individually, but in general, science
coursework should have been completed within 5 years of application.
Demonstrated ability to complete a
full-time, science-based curriculum is
important.
b. Verbal and written communication
skills in the English language. These
abilities are assessed by the candidate’s
spoken language proficiency, his or her
written biography and statement of
purpose, an extemporaneous writing
sample obtained during the interview,
and comments provided by references.
The ability to participate in general
conversation, understand and act on
instructions, and provide information
to patients and health professionals in
the English language is critical. While
fluency in a second language is highly
desirable, proficiency in both oral and
written English is of primary importance.
c. General knowledge and understanding
of a health career in general and a
pharmacy career in particular. While
pharmacy work experience is not
required, some knowledge and
understanding of modern pharmacy
practice is very important. An
applicant’s willingness and motivation
to be a part of a healthcare delivery
system and to provide direct patient
care is a primary component of the
admission decision.
RETENTION STANDARDS
In order to be retained in the PharmD
Program, each student must meet all
requirements outlined in each of the
standards described below. Each faculty
member and preceptor will apply these
standards in the assessment of student
performance within individual classes
and clerkship experiences.
Academic Standards
The PharmD curriculum requires
essential abilities in information
acquisition. The student must have the
ability to master information presented
in coursework in the form of lectures,
discussion groups, case studies, smallgroup projects, practicum experiences,
computer technology, written material,
and projected images. The student must
have the cognitive abilities necessary to
master relevant content in basic science
and clinical courses at a level deemed
appropriate by the faculty. He or she
must be able to develop reasoning and
decision-making skills appropriate to the
practice of pharmacy. These skills may be
described as the ability to comprehend,
memorize, analyze, and synthesize
material. The student must be able to
retrieve, critically evaluate, interpret, and
communicate information contained in
the scientific and professional literature.
Similarly, the student must use clinical
data, patient assessment, and appropriate medical literature to optimize
therapeutic drug regimens. The student
must be able to efficiently and accurately
obtain information from other health
professionals, medical records, and
pharmacy records and use this information on behalf of the patient to identify,
assess, solve, and prevent drug related
problems. He or she must demonstrate
sound clinical judgment in evaluating,
assessing, and recommending patient
therapeutic plans to achieve intended
therapeutic outcomes. To perform these
activities, the student must be able to
obtain a pharmacy history from a
patient or family member as described
below. In addition, he or she must be
capable of perceiving the signs of disease
or adverse drug effects as manifested
through visual observation of the
patient, performing a limited physical
examination (e.g., blood pressure, pulse,
otic, chest and cardiac auscultation),
and obtaining capillary or venous blood
samples from the patient. Students must
also be able to administer medications
via injection.
Technical and Communication
Standards
Technical standards, as distinguished
from academic standards, refer to those
physical, cognitive, and behavioral
abilities required for satisfactory
completion of all aspects of the curriculum, and the development of professional attributes required by the faculty
of all students at graduation. The
essential abilities required by the
curriculum are in the following areas:
motor, sensory, verbal and written
communication in English, intellectual
389
(conceptual, integrative, and quantitative abilities for problem solving and
decision making), and the behavioral
characteristics and social skills necessary
for the practice of pharmacy.
The student must demonstrate the
technical skills and knowledge to
manage systems for storage, preparation,
and dispensing of medicines; accurately
and efficiently evaluate drug orders on
prescriptions; accurately and safely
compound drugs in appropriate dosage
forms; package and dispense dosage
forms; apply computer skills and
technological advancements to practice;
and supervise technical personnel to
whom these responsibilities may be
delegated.
The student must be able to communicate effectively with patients, the
patient’s family members or caretaker,
and other healthcare practitioners. Not
exclusively, but most commonly, this
communication is in English. One
element of communication is obtaining
information from others and correctly
analyzing the content of that information. In particular, the student must
have the ability to obtain a pharmacy
history from a patient or family member.
This requires the ability to understand
verbal and written information,
recognize the significance of non-verbal
responses, efficiently assess all information obtained, and, if appropriate, make
a well-focused follow-up inquiry. The
student must be capable of responsive,
empathetic listening to establish rapport
in a way that promotes openness on
issues of concern and shows sensitivity
to potential cultural differences. A
second element of good communication
is the coherent provision of information
to others, both verbally and in writing.
The student must be able to process and
communicate information on the
patient’s status, with accuracy and in a
timely manner, to pharmacy colleagues
and other healthcare providers. This
information needs to be communicated
in a succinct, yet comprehensive manner
and in settings in which time available is
limited. Written or dictated drug
information assessments, communications to other health professionals,
patient records, patient assessments, and
prescriptions must be complete and
accurate. Appropriate communication
may also rely on the student’s ability to
make a correct judgment in seeking
supervision and consultation in a timely
manner.
PROFESSIONAL, BEHAVIORAL,
AND ETHICAL STANDARDS
In addition to the academic, technical,
and communications standards cited
above, retention of students in the
program is also based on certain nonacademic factors. These non-academic
390
Oregon State University
factors can significantly influence the
likelihood of the student maintaining
standards of professional conduct and
performance that are required in the
pharmacy profession. He or she must
possess attributes, which include
compassion, empathy, altruism,
integrity, responsibility, and tolerance.
He or she should always treat other
students, faculty and staff, co-workers
(other pharmacists, supportive personnel, other health professionals) and
patients with respect and dignity. He or
she must have satisfactory physical and
mental health, the emotional stability to
function effectively under stress, and the
ability to adapt to an environment that
may change rapidly without warning, or
in unpredictable ways.
The student must be able to understand the basis and content of medical
and pharmacy ethics. The college has a
responsibility to the public to assure that
its graduates will become fully competent pharmacists who adhere to the
American Pharmaceutical Association’s
Code of Ethics. Students admitted to the
PharmD program and continuing
students must comply with university
academic regulations and adhere to the
university Student Code of Conduct as
found on the university Web site: http://
oregonstate.edu/admin/stucon/.
To participate in and complete offcampus practicum courses students must
possess a valid Oregon Intern License.
Inability to obtain an Oregon Intern
License may prevent completion of offcampus externships and clerkships and
prevent a student from continuing in
the program and completing the
requirements for graduation. Students
must not abuse alcohol or other drugs.
A history of drug abuse or alcohol
related arrest or conviction might
preclude obtaining an Oregon Intern
License and make licensure as a pharmacist impossible.
All standards pertaining to oncampus coursework also apply to all offcampus practicum experiences and
clerkships. In addition, practicum sites
will have their own requirements.
Inability to attain a practicum placement or to satisfactorily complete a
practicum experience may result in
removal from the PharmD program.
Equal Opportunity and Disability
Accommodation
The College of Pharmacy, as a part of
Oregon State University, is committed to
the principle of equal opportunity. The
college does not discriminate on the
basis of race, color, creed, religion,
national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, and
disabled veteran or Vietnam-era veteran
status. When requested, the college will
provide reasonable accommodation to
otherwise qualified students with
disabilities. Disabled students must work
with and be approved by the
Services for Students with Disabilities
office.
GRADUATION STANDARDS
PharmD graduates are required to have
met all requisite Retention Standards
and to be qualified to enter the field of
pharmacy and to possess a commitment
to lifelong learning that will allow them
to adapt to changes in pharmaceutical
care and healthcare throughout their
career. It is the responsibility of all
PharmD students to cooperate and work
with the College of Pharmacy and the
university to meet these standards as
described. Students with disabilities must
also cooperate and work with the
Services for Students with
Disabilities office to request those
accommodations that they feel are
reasonable and needed to fulfill these
standards.
WICHE PROGRAM

PRE-PHARMACY MAJOR
(NON-DEGREE PROGRAM)
To be eligible to enter the four-year
Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) professional program, an applicant must
complete the pre-pharmacy curriculum,
which involves approximately three
years of undergraduate study. A
bachelor’s degree is not required for
admission to the PharmD program.
However, students must earn a bachelor’s
degree before entering the third professional year, unless they have a bachelor’s
degree when they start the professional
program. Through a cooperative
program with the College of Science,
