Program Overview The School of Pharmacy at Pacific University offers a three-year and five-year curriculum leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree. Courses are offered in a semester-based schedule with concurrent semester-long courses. Experiential components are integrated into the initial didactic years of study, and the final year is devoted entirely to advanced clinical experience. At Pacific, we emphasize integration of concepts, as well as teamwork and collaboration among students. We focus less on frequent high-stakes examinations and more on periodic low-stakes assessments to help alleviate stress and better contribute to an environment of learning.

Interprofessional Education As a healthcare provider, you must understand the complexity of the healthcare system and value the contribution of other medical professionals. During the program, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with students in other health professional programs for a more diverse learning experience.
“I was especially excited about the curriculum’s emphasis on the use of teamwork in the classroom. I chose Pacific University over other programs because I enjoyed the non-competitive and professional atmosphere.”
Our program has a focus on student wellness, which is promoted via protected time — usually one afternoon each week — for students to proactively schedule personal appointments and engage in self-care.
