Course Load


The curriculum of the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy is designed so that a student can meet the appropriate professional degree requirements for the Pharm.D. degree in six years by completing the program, as outlined under the Programs of Study later in this section.

With the written approval of the academic dean, a student may elect to take as few as 12 credits in any given semester. Courses may be dropped to affect such reduction to 12 credits within the first eight weeks of the semester. In contemplating such a reduction, however, the student should bear in mind which courses are prerequisites for other courses to be taken subsequently, as well as potential scheduling conflicts. Students should consult with the Office of Academic Service (Room 102) prior to dropping a course. The student also should give serious consideration to the financial implications of any additional years of education and its impact on other personal circumstances.

Students may not carry more than 20 credits in one semester without the written approval of the academic dean. The Scholastic Standing Committee does not recognize, for graduation purposes, courses taken in excess of the maximum load determined by faculty rule, unless permission was granted previously by the committee.

The Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy does not have any provision for part-time students, except in those cases where the Scholastic Standing Committee or academic dean specifies a partial course load for not more than one or two semesters.
