Master of Science in Clinical Pharmaceutical Sciences

Admission to the graduate program in the Department of Pharmacy Practice is limited to recent graduates demonstrating a high level of academic performance during their undergraduate education and to pharmacists demonstrating a high level of performance in professional practice with an interest in research-based training. A Bachelor of Science in a health-related field or a Doctor of Pharmacy is normally the minimum degree requirement for admission to the program. An interview will be conducted to assess the student's communicative ability, commitment, and motivation for graduate work. Further, within the formal application procedure, the prospective student will be asked to submit two short essays. The Academic Statement of Purpose and the Personal History Statement are two of the most important documents in your graduate application. The documents should be concise, clear, and free of spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. You should have others review your document for content, organization, and to ensure that there are no errors. Information in the Personal History Statement should complement but not duplicate information in the Academic Statement of Purpose. These essays are uploaded with the on-line application.
