Degree Program
Doctor of Pharmacy (Accelerated)
MCPHS–Manchester offers an accelerated Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree in conjunction with the School of Pharmacy–Worcester/Manchester. The core pharmacy curriculum is identical to that currently offered at the Worcester campus. Students attend classes in Manchester, while most of the instructors and other students are based in Worcester. Sophisticated technology and interactive videoconferencing are utilized to deliver core and elective courses to the Manchester campus. Some electives, all labs, and some didactic courses are taught on site by Manchesterbased faculty and qualified adjunct faculty, similar to those at the Worcester campus. Introductory and advanced clinical experiences are offered in a variety of approved settings (hospitals, clinics, community pharmacies, etc.) primarily in New England as well as outside the region, including other states and Canada, consistent with the assignments of students based in Worcester. This academically rigorous program is completed in two years and 10 months. Accepted applicants must have successfully completed all prerequisite courses prior to enrollment in the program. For details on the curriculum and other information on the accelerated PharmD program, refer to the School of Pharmacy–Worcester/Manchester section of this catalog.
