Pharmacy is the study of the physical, chemical and biological
characteristics of medicinal substances and the utilization
of these substances in the prevention, treatment, and control
of illness and disease. It also encompasses a study of the systems
of delivering health care and the function of the professional
pharmacist within these systems.
The School of Pharmacy was established in 1907 at Montana State
College and was transferred to the University in 1913. The pharmacy
program consists of two departments, Pharmacy Practice and Pharmaceutical
Sciences.
The School of Pharmacy is a member of the American Association
of Colleges of Pharmacy. The baccalaureate program is accredited
by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education, 311 West
Superior Street, Suite 512, Chicago IL 60610, telephone (312)
664 3575, (800) 533-3606; FAX (312) 664-4652. The entry-level
doctor of pharmacy program has been granted candidate accreditation
status by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education,
311 West Superior Street, Suite 512, Chicago, IL 60610, (312)
664-3575, (800) 533-3606; FAX, (312) 664-4652.
The curriculum offered by the School of Pharmacy consists of
two programs: a five year program leading to the degree of Bachelor
of Science in Pharmacy or a six year program leading to the
entry-level Pharm.D. degree. The first two years, or pre professional
portion of the curriculum, are spent in studies of the basic
physical and biological sciences, and in course work necessary
to satisfy the University general education requirements.
The first two professional years of the B.S.P. and Pharm.D.
programs are identical. During these two years, students devote
their time to the study of the pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacy
practice. Areas of study include biochemistry, microbiology,
pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, social administrative
pharmacy, and therapeutics.
During the second year of the professional program, the student
selects either the B.S.P. or the Pharm.D. option. If the student
chooses the B.S.P. option, the third professional year consists
of one semester of didactic work in pharmacy practice and one
semester of experiential training. If the student chooses the
Pharm.D. option, the third professional year is didactic work
and the final professional year is entirely experiential.
A program of selected electives allows the student to obtain
further educational experience in specialized areas of pharmaceutical
knowledge. Students in the professional program may choose elective
courses in specific areas of interest which include
community pharmacy practice, sales and management, research
and teaching, or hospital and institutional pharmacy practice.
All students must confer with assigned advisors prior to each
registration period and receive approval of proposed courses.
In addition to their formal educational program, students, to
become registered pharmacists, must complete practical experience
or internship under the direction of a registered pharmacist
and pass an examination given by the State Board of Pharmacy.
Career opportunities exist in the fields of community pharmacy,
institutional pharmacy, federal or state government service,
public health agencies, and with the pharmaceutical industry
in sales positions or in manufacturing. Those with advanced
degrees are in demand for research positions and in pharmaceutical
education.
High School Preparation: In addition to the general University
admission requirements, algebra, trigonometry, biology, chemistry,
physics and a course in computers are recommended.
Admission
The general requirements for admission to the University are
listed separately in this catalog.
Pre Pharmacy Program
The pre pharmacy curriculum, which requires a minimum of two
years of full time study, may be taken at any accredited college
or university.
Students at The University of Montana-Missoula may enter the
pre pharmacy program during any semester. It is recommended
that students considering pharmacy as a major declare a pre
pharmacy major as early as possible in order to receive appropriate
advising. Upon designating pre pharmacy as a major, students
will be assigned an advisor within the pharmacy program.
Professional Pharmacy Program
Students must apply for admission to the professional program.
Class size in the professional pharmacy program is restricted
and admission to the program is competitive. The admission process
is designed to admit the best overall class into professional
study. Completed applications are evaluated by the School of
Pharmacy Admissions Committee. Acceptances are made by the pharmacy
faculty and the dean based on the recommendations of the committee.
Since very few elective credits are available in the professional
pharmacy curriculum, students will be expected to have completed
all General Education requirements except for the upper-division
writing and ethics requirements prior to entering the professional
curriculum. Students must complete all General Education requirements
before entering clerkship rotations during the final year of
the program.
Applicants will be screened based on academic record (both overall
and in the required pre-pharmacy course work) and Pharmacy College
Admission Test scores (offered in October and Febraury). To
be eligible for admission, students must have a minimum grade
point average of 2.5 on a 4 point scale, both overall and in
required pre professional courses. For the past several years
there have been more than three applicants for each opening,
and the grade point average of the entering class has been about
3.4. In addition, applicants must present proof of having completed
at least 60 hours of volunteer or paid service in a medical
or social field, and an evaluation form filled out by someone
involved with the applicant in such an experience.
As a state supported institution, the School of Pharmacy gives
all applicants from the Montana University System equal consideration
for admission into the professional pharmacy program. There
is no restriction on admission of out of state students; however,
Montana residents are given priority among students with equal
qualifications. Students will be notified of their admission
status in writing.
The curriculum of the professional pharmacy program is sequential.
Therefore, students may enter the program in the autumn semester
only. Application forms for admission to the professional curriculum
may be obtained from the Office of the Dean, School of Pharmacy
and Allied Health Sciences. Applications must be post marked
by March 1st preceding the autumn semester of the year for which
admission is requested.
An application fee must be submitted with the application. Admission
for one academic year cannot be deferred to another academic
year. Official transcripts of all academic courses taken must
be forwarded directly to the School of Pharmacy.
The professional pharmacy curriculum must be taken in residence
at the University. Students transferring from other accredited
schools of pharmacy may be admitted with advanced standing,
determined on the basis of credits accepted, provided they are
in good academic standing. Transfer credit for required professional
courses taken at other institutions is accepted only for those
courses which are deemed equivalent and in which a letter grade
of C or better is obtained.
Academic Progression
The general University academic standing requirements are listed
separately in this catalog. See index.
Students in the professional curriculum must maintain cumulative,
professional, and pharmacy grade point averages of 2.0 or higher.
The professional grade point average consists of all required
course work in the professional curriculum. The pharmacy grade
point average consists of all courses with a pharmacy (PHAR)
prefix.
Students enrolled in the professional pharmacy program must
maintain satisfactory academic progress. No more than 4 credits
of D in PHAR required courses will be accepted toward either
the B.S.P. or Pharm.D. Students in the professional program
who have a pharmacy or professional grade point average of less
than 2.0 or who receive a grade of D or F in any required course
in the professional curriculum will be placed on academic probation.
Upon receipt of more than four credits of D, a student must
petition to the Academic Standards Committee. A student must
petition to continue in the professional pharmacy program if
he or she is on probation for two consecutive terms. A student
will be dismissed from the professional pharmacy program if
he or she is on probation for a total of three terms, not necessarily
consecutive, subject to review by the dean. A student will be
removed from probation when a grade point average of 2.0 has
been achieved. Because the program is academically intense,
employment beyond minimal, part time work is not recommended.
Students who have failed ten or more credits of required professional
course work or who fail to progress in the expected manner for
two consecutive years may be dismissed from the professional
pharmacy program, subject to review by the Academic Standards
Committee and the dean of the School of Pharmacy and Allied
Health Sciences.
Students dismissed from the program for substandard performance
will not be readmitted, except in cases where substantiation
is made to the faculty, by written petition, that the substandard
performance was the result of circumstances that no longer exist,
or that the student has demonstrated the capability and desire
to perform satisfactory work since his or her dismissal from
the program.
Students leaving the program on their own volition are guaranteed
readmission if they are in good academic standing and exit by
interview with the assistant dean for student affairs. Those
students leaving the program on their own volition and not in
good standing must reapply for admission.
The professional pharmacy curriculum consists of an integrated
sequence of required courses which is designed to be completed
in three (B.S.P. option) or four (Pharm.D. option) consecutive
years. With appropriate justification, part time study in the
professional pharmacy program may be allowed. Students desiring
to be enrolled in part time study must make their request by
petition to the Academic Standards Committee. Because the curriculum
is revised periodically, students who take longer than normal
number of years to complete the professional program will be
required to complete curricular changes applicable to the class
in which they graduate.
