DESCRIPTION
Founded in 1898, Northeastern University distinguishes itself as a private research university that is student-centered, practice-oriented and urban.- Northeastern University has developed a national reputation as a leader in cooperative education.
- This educational method offers students the opportunity to gain valuable practical experience in carefully selected work environments as an essential and complementary part of their education.
- Cooperative experiences also allow students to earn income to offset some of their educational costs.
- The Northeastern University School of Pharmacy, which is part of the Bouve College of Health Sciences, is committed to training well-educated pharmacists who will be able to meet society's legal, professional and ethical expectations for delivering quality pharmaceutical care in a variety of health care settings.
- Our graduate programs are designed to train scientists for exciting careers in academics, health care research, and the pharmaceutical industry.
- Home to more than sixty colleges and universities, greater Boston offers an ever-changing kaleidoscope of academic enrichment. Boston has an international reputation for excellence in the field of medicine and is home to three medical schools, many of the country's best hospitals, medical centers, and biotechnology companies.
- Best known as the birthplace of the American Revolution, Boston attracts thousands to the historical landmarks of its Freedom Trail including Paul Revere's House, the U.S.S. Constitution, Beacon Hill, and the Boston Common.
- The Museum of Fine Arts, Symphony Hall, Horticultural Hall, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and the Boston Public Library are also within walking distance of the campus.
- The setting for Northeastern's dynamic learning experience is our sixty-six-acre campus, which the Chronicle of Higher Education has named one of the most attractive urban campuses in the world.
- The urban location of the Northeastern Campus ensures that there is always plenty of student housing. The resident halls on campus provide affordable, safe housing for new and continuing students.
CURRICULUM
The Northeastern University School of Pharmacy offers a 0-6 program of study leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree. Students begin their education completing preprofessional courses in english, mathematics and biomedical sciences. Years 3-6 (the professional curriculum) emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, and active learning in building knowledge and skills in the pharmaceutical and clinical sciences. Unique to Northeastern University is the utilization of cooperative education to deliver early practice experiences. Early practice experiences are carefully selected to ensure that practice-based competencies are achieved during nearly one-year of cooperative education. Co-ops are interspersed with classroom instruction to maximize their relevance. When Northeastern students are on co-op, they have real world experiences and responsibilities, observe firsthand how theory applies to practice, they develop professional relationships, learn to adapt and thrive in the dynamics and diversity of workplace culture, and they are evaluated and compensated by their employers. Students complete 36 weeks of advanced experiential education during the final year of the program.
Required experiences include acute care (general medicine or hospitalbased specialty practice), ambulatory care, and community practice. Elective experiences are based on personal preference with over 40 types of experiences to choose from. Upon completion of both didactic and experiential education students are prepared to take the national licensing exam in pharmacy and prepared to practice in a wide variety of pharmacy settings. The Pharm.D. curriculum prepares pharmacists who can assume responsibility in the care of patients and assure the rational use of drug therapy. Many graduates will continue with post-graduate training through residencies or fellowships to develop additional practice and research skills leading to careers in academia, specialized clinical practice, or pharmaceutical industry.
