The prepharmacy curriculum for admission to the Pharm.D. program at Campbell University has been designed to ensure a student's basic understanding of the sciences as well as liberal arts.

• The curriculum consists of a strong core in the physical sciences in addition to mathematics and communications skills.
• The liberal arts component has been prescribed to ensure that a student will receive a well-rounded education and can converse well with their peers and society upon graduation.
• The professional curriculum in the School of Pharmacy has been constructed very much the same as that found in medical schools today. Our students receive two years of basic sciences entitled "The Pharmaceutical Sciences" with courses that include anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, immunology, medical microbiology, pharmacology, pharmaceutics, etc.
• The last two years of the Pharm.D. program are designated for the clinical science portion of the curriculum. Under the chairman of the Department of Pharmacy Practice, students receive courses in diagnosis and therapeutics, in addition to clinical clerkships in the areas of internal medicine, cardiology, pulmonary medicine, pediatrics, geriatrics, ambulatory care, emergency medicine, infectious diseases, metabolic support, drug information, etc. Clerkships in several other clinical disciplines are also available to students.
• The B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences has been added to the academic programs of the School of Pharmacy. The two year curriculum, which begins upon completion of the prepharmacy requirements mentioned above, is designed to prepare graduates for technical careers in the pharmaceutical and related industries.
• Individuals holding this degree are not qualified for licensure as a pharmacist. The School of Pharmacy offers two programs to prepare students for distinguished careers in clinical research. The bachelor's level program is ideally suited to prepare clinical monitors or coordinators for work in contract research organizations (CRO's), pharmaceutical companies, or academia.
• The master's level program is intended to provide training for individuals who hold degrees in the health-related professions such as human and veterinary medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, nursing, and the allied health fields. We envision that graduates may progress from project leader/manager to clinical directors and higher level positions.
