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 and the baccalaureate
program is accredited fully by the
American Council on Pharmaceutical
Education, 311 West Superior Street,
Suite 512, Chicago IL 60610, telephone
(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 typing 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 requirments 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 one letter of recommendation
from someone involved with the
applicant in such an experience.
Based on the above criteria, selected
applicants will be invited for an on-site
interview. The interview will be used to
assess the applicant's motivation,
communication skills, and ability to
work independently. An impromptu
writing sample taken during the
interview will be used to assess written
communication skills. Final selections
will be made from applicants who are
interviewed.
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. Grades
of D in required professional
pharmacy (PHAR prefix) course work
are not acceptable for and will not be
credited toward a professional
pharmacy degree. 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. 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.

Licensure in Montana
An applicant for licensure as a
registered pharmacist in Montana must
pass an examination administered by the
State Board of Pharmacy. The State
Board Examination is usually
administered by the Montana State
Board of Pharmacy in June, July, and
January. To qualify for the examination,
the applicant must be of good moral
character and a graduate of an accredited
school of pharmacy; however, an
applicant will not receive a license until
an internship is completed.
Internship Regulations
- The internship requirement for
licensure as a registered pharmacist in
Montana is regulated by the Montana
State Board of Pharmacy. Students must
be registered with the Board of
Pharmacy as a pharmacy intern in order
to accrue internship hours.
- Only those students who have
completed the first year of the
professional pharmacy curriculum may
begin their internship.
- The internship requirement consists
of 1,500 hours of experience in an
approved pharmacy setting. The student
also may acquire hours concurrently
with school attendance in courses,
clinical pharmacy programs, or
demonstration projects which have been
approved by the Board of Pharmacy.
- Many courses and programs
currently offered by the School of
Pharmacy are approved and applicable
toward fulfilling the internship
requirement. A complete list is available
upon request.
- Students will receive credit for
internship time and/or courses taken if
such experience is certified by the
preceptor and/or instructor and approved
by the State Board of Pharmacy.
Pre-Pharmacy Curriculum
The pre-pharmacy curriculum is
identical for both the B.S.P. and
Pharm.D. options. The sequence of
courses is illustrative and, if proper
prerequisites are satisfied, the student
may alter the order in which the courses
are taken.
