The School of Pharmacy at Pacific University offers a three-year program leading to the doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) degree. Located in Hillsboro, Oregon, along with several other health professional programs, the school uses a competency-based curriculum, with courses delivered in a modified block format. In this format, students study one topic area for two weeks before moving on to another content area. The competency-based design encourages teamwork and collaboration among students while removing the competitive nature present in many professional curricula.

Students complete Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience components (IPPE 1, 2, 3 & 4) of the curriculum throughout their first and second school years. The third year is devoted entirely to on-site Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPE).

If you are interested in becoming a preceptor with our program, please contact one of the experiential program contacts.
