Footnotes:
A. To be eligible for a NYS Pharmacy Limited (Intern) Permit, successful completion of the first professional year of the Doctor of Pharmacy program at ACPHS is defined as successful completion of 35 credits of professional courses, and must include Foundations of Pharmacy, Pharmacy Skills I, Pharmacy Skills II, Intro to Pharmacotherapy/Self-Care, and the APhA Immunization Certificate. An intern permit is necessary to complete any Experiential Education course (IPPE or APPE).
B. Students who have not completed microbiology with lab before P1 must complete it prior to P2 spring. In general, students should not plan to take more than 19 credits per semester. Therefore, students can typically complete this requirement during P1 if a course waiver for Biochemistry or Molecular Biology is received. The course can be completed during summer after P1, or during P2 fall in lieu of an elective.
C. Course waivers are available for Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Immunology. Requests for waiver are completed during the pharmacy admission process.
D. Elective slots can be used to complete Professional Electives (6 credits required). Students must also complete LAS electives (9 credits), generally consisting of humanities or social science courses, and general education electives (3 credits).
Class of 2026 and prior
Note: Students must complete the following elective credits by graduation. Liberal arts and general electives can be completed during pre-pharmacy or before coming to ACPHS and will appear in the degree audit. Professional electives must be completed during the P1-P3 years of the PharmD Program.
- Liberal arts 9 credits (typically social science and humanities topics)
- General education elective 3 credits (any non-required course)
- Professional elective 6 credits (courses designated by the Pharmacy Curriculum Committee)
