Graduation Requirements
Students must fulfill the graduation requirements of the MSPS program, which includes:
- At least 30 hours of MSPS courses or approved substitutions
- At least 10 semester hours of research
- A thesis based upon the student's original research
- An oral defense of the thesis
In addition, students must fulfill all requirements of the PharmD program, including 10 semester hours of electives and a final ImPaCT project.
A student in the concurrent program who is unable to accumulate at least 10 credit hours from MSPS courses would be required to complete additional courses to fulfill the elective requirements for the PharmD. It is possible that a delay in obtaining the PharmD could occur if the student drops out of the concurrent program.
Please review the graduation requirements for the PharmD and MSPS programs for additional information.
