Pharmacy Curriculum

The University utilizes the block system of curricular design, which provides students with the opportunity to study one content area intensely. Faculty, using a variety of educational strategies, help students achieve the learning objectives for each block. The program does not award students traditional letter grades (e.g., A, B, C, D or F). However, faculty require students to demonstrate competency by successfully passing every assessment (examination) that is associated with each block. The program also offers a unique experiential training program that places students in a community pharmacy practice setting within the first two weeks after beginning classes in the University.

The curriculum of the University of Southern Nevada College of Pharmacy PharmD program can be divided into two major components: the didactic component and the experiential component.
