Doctor of Pharmacy

The granting of the Doctor of Pharmacy degree by Northeast Ohio Medical University is contingent upon the recommendation to the Board of Trustees by the Committee on Academic Progress and Promotion (CAPP) and the dean of the College.

• All students of the Northeast Ohio Medical University College of Pharmacy are required to achieve at least a passing grade in all courses required by the faculty for the awarding of the Doctor of Pharmacy degree. This includes completing 5 credits worth of elective coursework. Students enrolled in the College of Pharmacy may choose to complete elective coursework at other ACPE accredited colleges of pharmacy as outlined in the College of Pharmacy Elective Transfer Credit Policy.

• All students are required to complete the expectations outlined in their Licensure Preparation Plan during the P4 year.

• In addition to the acquisition of the basic tools of skill and knowledge, the College of Pharmacy emphasizes the importance of the maintenance of emotional stability, a practice of integrity, a habit of critical analysis, a spirit of inquiry and an expressed sense of understanding and empathy for others. This reflects the concern of the College for the appropriate development of human qualities and commitment to professional standards, as well as development of technical competence in its students and graduates. Evaluation of students and their progress during the course of studies will include all of these criteria.

• Failure to meet any of the standards of the College will result in remedial or other actions, including dismissal.
