Curriculum
Our competency-based curriculum includes courses delivered in a modified block design. The structure provides a schedule that allows students to study one topic at a time before moving on to another content area. This method of education allows students to master each topic with a high level of mastery and promotes the integration of concepts in a planned and sequential manner.
The competency-based design encourages teamwork and collaboration among students and removes the competitive nature characteristic of many professional programs.
Team teaching by our faculty and use of technology further enhance our students experience at the Pacific University School of Pharmacy.
As part of their education, students also complete experiential components of the curriculum throughout their first and second didactic years. The third year is devoted entirely to advanced clinical experience.
