To earn the Doctor of Pharmacy degree (PharmD), students must complete two years of preprofessional studies and four years of professional courses at Northeastern University.

Year 1: Preprofessional Studies (PP1)

Year 2: Preprofessional Studies (PP2)

Year 3: Professional Year 1 (P1)

Year 4: Professional Year 2 (P2)

Year 5: Professional Year 3 (P3)

(Student earns the Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy Studies degree and moves to the graduate level for completion of PharmD studies.)

Year 6: Professional Year 4 (P4)

The PharmD fully integrates campus-based learning with experiential learning, including the university’s signature cooperative education program, to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to succeed in the pharmacy profession. Our students promote and ensure the safe and effective use of drugs and provide medication therapy management services. In addition to preparing and dispensing prescribed medications, our students provide information to patients about medications and their uses; advise physicians, other prescribers, and healthcare practitioners on medication selection, dosages, interactions, and adverse effects; and monitor patient responses to drug therapy.

Our students are well equipped to provide patient care services in a variety of settings. Most of our graduates work in community pharmacies or in healthcare facilities such as hospitals and ambulatory clinics. Additional practice opportunities exist in health maintenance organizations, private practice groups, long-term-care facilities, home healthcare, the Public Health Service, the armed services, and law enforcement and regulatory agencies such as the Federal Drug Administration or Drug Enforcement Administration. Graduates may also find employment in drug development, marketing and research within the pharmaceutical industry, colleges of pharmacy, and professional association management. In addition, many of our graduates go on to pharmacy practice residencies, fellowships, and leading graduate programs.

Doctor of Pharmacy students are admitted with the expectation that by working with faculty, staff, and each other, they will develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for academic and professional success. Students follow academic progression plans for their respective years of graduation. Any deviation from the prescribed curriculum will require faculty/staff permission and an approved plan of study from the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Academic Standing Committee.

The curriculum includes both Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPEs, fulfilled by cooperative education) and Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPEs). These pharmacy practice experiences (PPEs) are provided primarily under the direct supervision of qualified pharmacist preceptors and occasionally with other qualified healthcare professionals. The school is affiliated with many world-class practice sites throughout the United States, providing students with access to experienced clinicians and scholars. Although every effort is made to accommodate individual circumstances and requests, students should be prepared to travel outside the Boston area to complete some of their PPEs. Availability of a car may be required, as some sites are not accessible by public transportation. All expenses associated with PPEs, including travel and housing, are the responsibility of the student.

IPPEs are competitive placements that are based on job availability in a geographic region. The placements are facilitated by School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences cooperative education coordinators. Students are required to earn satisfactory (S) grades in one IPPE in a community setting and in one IPPE in an institutional/hospital practice setting.

APPE placements are provided based on site/preceptor availability and the final approval of the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Office of Experiential Education. Students may be able to petition the OEE for special-arrangement APPEs; however, availability for such requests is limited.

To be eligible for a Doctor of Pharmacy degree, a student must successfully complete all courses in the curriculum including the IPPEs (co-op) and APPEs; meet the academic progression standards of the program; meet the technical standards of the program; and satisfy all other requirements as stated. The pharmacy program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education and adheres to the standards established by ACPE.

Pharmacy graduates must meet specific requirements to qualify for professional licensure in the state where they plan to practice as a registered pharmacist. These requirements include graduating from an accredited school of pharmacy, passing national and state board examinations, and completing internship hours. The internship is a period of practical experience conducted under the supervision of a registered pharmacist. Massachusetts requires 1,500 internship hours, all of which are satisfied through completion of IPPEs (co-op) and APPEs.

Professional and/or legal exigencies arise from time to time, which may necessitate changes in a pharmacy course, progression, and/or graduation requirements. Students should review their status with academic advisors on a timely basis and refer to current publications for updated information.

Program Progression

A minimum grade of C is required in major prerequisite courses (those identified with the subject codes BIOL, CHEM, MATH, PHYS). To progress into the subsequent year of professional courses, students must have completed all professional prerequisites with the required minimum passing grade, have satisfactorily completed all academic courses in the preprofessional phase of the curriculum, have an overall GPA of 3.000 or higher, and a science prerequisite GPA of 3.000 or higher. The science GPA is comprised of all courses with prefixes BIOL, CHEM, MATH, and PHYS. In addition, to progress into the first professional year of the PharmD program (P1), students must demonstrate good verbal and written communication skills, understanding of the pharmacy profession, and commitment to patient care through an interview process based on criteria set by the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.

All students entering P1 in fall 2022 and beyond are required to complete the PharmCAS application. The PharmCAS application process is considered a formality in the progression process and will not jeopardize the student's preferred or guaranteed enrollment status.

To progress into the subsequent semester of professional courses (P1–P4), students must receive a grade of C or better in all PHMD and PHSC courses, as well as in any course completed to fulfill the professional elective requirement.

Pharmacy (PharmD-UG) students must maintain an overall GPA of 3.000 or higher during the professional years (P1–P4) of the Doctor of Pharmacy program.

Requirements for the PharmD Pharmacy PPEs

Requirements for the successful completion of the PharmD PPEs include:

  1. Evidence of health clearance from University Health and Counseling Services before placements at any PPE site.
  2. Satisfactory completion of any additional site-specific requirements including, but not limited to, criminal record information (CORI), urine drug screens, and verification of immunization status. All fees associated with these requirements are the responsibility of the student. Please see below for management of positive urine drug screens.
  3. Adherence to the school's code of professional conduct and the university’s code of conduct policies while off-campus.
  4. Maintenance of an active pharmacy intern license in every state where the student completes an experience.
  5. Compliance with site-specific requirements (via site descriptions) and completion of site requests within specified deadlines. Students who fail to complete these requirements as directed will likely incur grade penalties and may experience a delay of graduation or dismissal from the pharmacy program.

Management of Positive Urine Drug Screens

If the student learns the urine drug screen (test #1) is positive, the student will notify the OEE (pharmacyoee@northeastern.edu) and immediately complete a second urine screen (test #2). A professional concern form will be completed based on test #1 results and reported to the University's Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution via the Incident Report form (IRF).

  • If urine screen test #2 is negative (-), the student will be allowed to continue the PPEs. However, the student will be asked to complete a random urine screen (test #3) at a time determined by the OEE. If urine screen test #3 is positive (+), the student will be administratively removed from the active PPEs and graduation may be delayed. A second professional concern form and OSCCR IRF will be completed, based on test #3 results. The return to PPEs will occur once a repeat urine test is negative. That repeat negative test will be followed up by a random urine screen at a time determined by the OEE.
  • If urine screen test #2 is positive (+), the student will be administratively removed from the PPEs and graduation may be delayed. The return to PPEs will occur once a repeat urine screen is negative. That negative screen will be followed up by a random urine screen at a time determined by the OEE. A second professional concern form will be completed based on a positive test #3 result.

Program Policies

Students are expected to adhere to the policies and standards of their program major, as stated, to progress through their curriculum as planned. Students seeking any exceptions to the program policies and standards specified for their program major must present a petition before the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Academic Standing Committee.

Given programmatic requirements, coupled with concerns over the loss of therapeutic knowledge, requests for a General Leave of Absence, other than Medical or Emergency Leave of Absence:

  • Must comply with all stated Northeastern general policies, regardless of the academic year.
  • May be made at any time period during the P1 or P2 years.
  • During the P3 academic year, any request for a general leave must be made no later than February 1 of the given academic year. Requests after this date will not be permitted.
  • During the P4 academic year, requests for a general leave cannot be made at any time.

SOPPS Professional Code of Conduct

All SOPPS students (i.e., preprofessional PharmD, Pharmaceutical Sciences, BS,  P1–P4 PharmD, MS, PhD) are expected to adhere to the SOPP—Professional Code of Conduct.

Technical Standards for the Doctor of Pharmacy Program

The PharmD program at Northeastern is a rigorous and challenging academic program that requires students to possess specific characteristics and abilities within the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains, referred to here as technical standards.
