Programs of Study
Pharmacy Professional Program (Pharm.D. Program)
The Pharmacy Professional Program program prepares students to identify, resolve and prevent drug-related problems. Students learn to provide patient care to achieve positive drug therapy outcomes that improve the quality of a patient's life. Before enrolling in the college, students complete prepharmacy coursework at an accredited college. The required coursework is offered on a full-time day school basis.
Experiential Education Program
The Experiential Education Program is the practice component of the Pharmacy Professional Program curriculum. Its goal is to enhance the students' attitude, skills and knowledge to better prepare them to provide pharmaceutical care.
Graduate Programs
College of Pharmacy graduate programs for the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are offered through the Graduate School in:
Continuing Education
We offer online, certificate, correspondence and live programs for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and other professionals working within healthcare.
Ambulatory Care Residency Program
The purpose of the Ambulatory Care Residency Program at the University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy is to prepare skilled, compassionate, generalist patient care providers who take responsibility for drug therapy outcomes in the patients for whom they provide care. Additionally, program graduates are experienced educators with respect to pharmaceutical care and understand what is required to conceptualize, implement and evaluate a pharmaceutical care practice.
Post-Pharm.D. Fellowship Program
The difference between fellowships and residencies is best described as how much emphasis is placed on exacting research versus clinical skills. Residents spend more time honing clinical skills while fellows devote much of their time to improving research skills. A participant in a typical fellowship would spend about 75% of his or her time on research activities.
