药学(3+3双学位)

亚洲博彩平台排名 University's partnership with the University of Saint Joseph in West Hartford, Connecticut offers a pathway for students to earn their Doctor of 制药acy in six years. Students complete three years of study in biology or biochemistry at 亚洲博彩平台排名, followed by three years in Saint Joseph's 制药.D. 程序.

Meet the Need for Highly Qualified 制药acists

The demand for pharmacy services has resulted in a dramatic increase in salaries in all sectors of pharmacy, with starting salaries now averaging $100,000. Our partnership combines a solid liberal arts degree with a strong pharmacy 程序, allowing students to begin their careers early and fill the need for highly qualified pharmacists.

The first three years of the 程序 are devoted to undergraduate coursework at 亚洲博彩平台排名. Students complete Core Curriculum courses, requirements for the major in biology or biochemistry, and electives that include prerequisites for the pharmacy 程序. 在圣约瑟夫, students move through the 程序 as part of a cohort, completing one course at a time in order to master the subject material.

Students who successfully complete both 程序s earn a B.S. 生物学或B.A. in biochemistry from 亚洲博彩平台排名 and a 制药.D. 来自圣约瑟夫.

To be eligible for the 制药.D. 程序 at Saint Joseph, students must maintain a 2.8 GPA and complete the 制药CAS application. Students apply for the 制药.D. 程序 during the third year of their undergraduate 程序.

项目关注的焦点: Well-Rounded Education

The 3+3 dual-degree 程序 is a wonderful opportunity for any student who might be seeking a career in the pharmacy industry. 同时, this degree will ensure a strong foundation in either biochemistry or biology along with the well-rounded liberal arts education that is highly valued by employers these days.
