University of California, San Francisco

• The University of California San Francisco offers a variety of pharmacy-related degree programs. Students interested in conducting pharmacological research may apply to one of the five PhD programs, while those wishing to pursue a professional career as a licensed pharmacist may opt for the Pharm.D. program. Doctoral students in the non-professional track may choose from Biological and Medical Informatics, Biophysics, Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmacogenomics, and Bioengineering. These programs do not qualify the student to practice as a licensed pharmacist. The professional Pharm.D. track is a four-year program that leads to licensure as a professional pharmacist. The University of California's School of Pharmacy has a 99% pass rate on the professional licensure exam.

University of Pittsburgh

• The School of Pharmacy at the University of Pittsburgh offers both Ph.D. and accredited Pharm.D. programs at the graduate level. Although the Ph.D. curriculum does prepare the student for a career in research, it does not meet the requirements for professional licensure. Individuals interested in working as a professional pharmacist (and, by necessity, passing the licensure exam) must complete the Pharm.D. degree. The Pharm.D. program is a four-year full-time course of study. All students must finish two full years of prerequisite coursework prior to beginning Pharm.D. studies. Prerequisites include academic classes in Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Calculus, Statistics, English, Economics, Psychology and Humanities. These may have been completed during undergraduate or other graduate training.
