Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences Preface The Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences was established in 1990 when the faculty in the Pharmaceutical Sciences of the School of Pharmacy requested and was granted permission to separate from the reorganized College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. The Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences offers the Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Science degrees in pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, and pharmacology-toxicology, and the Master of Science in Pharmacy Administration. In conjunction with the Graduate School of Business Administration, the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences offers an M.B.A./M.S. in Industrial Pharmacy. Typically, 70 students are enrolled in graduate programs in the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Most recent M.S. graduates have continued studies at the doctoral level or are employed in a variety of research laboratory settings. Graduates of Ph.D. programs are employed in research and administrative positions in industry and in research and teaching in academia.

The City Surrounded by the Monongahela, Allegheny, and Ohio rivers, the downtown “Golden Triangle” of the City of Pittsburgh is a corporate headquarters and the hub of numerous cultural activities. This “most livable city in the United States” supports an internationally renowned symphony orchestra and ballet, opera and numerous dramatic companies. Technology and education flourish in this city of highly esteemed colleges, universities, and trade and technical schools. Pittsburgh supports professional teams in football (Steelers), baseball (Pirates) and hockey (Penguins). Perhaps the most engaging quality of this metropolitan area is the “hometown” flavor of the many individual neighborhoods that comprise the “City of Pittsburgh.”

The University Duquesne University first opened its doors as the Pittsburgh Catholic College of the Holy Ghost in October 1878 with an enrollment of 40 students and a faculty of seven. From a humble original location on Wylie Avenue in the City’s Uptown section to its present beautifully self-contained campus, Duquesne provides a hilltop vista overlooking one of the nation’s most attractive cities. Today Duquesne University is a progressive educational facility which has more than tripled from its early 12.5 acres to its present, self-enclosed 48-acre campus overlooking the city of Pittsburgh. Tree-lined brick walkways lead to academic buildings, living-learning centers, research and recreational facilities. Duquesne’s academics are recognized both nationally and internationally. Almost every state in the Union and more than 75 countries are represented in the Duquesne family, and our mission of service drives our outreach across the country and the globe. Duquesne’s recent growth has been tremendous with students in ten schools of study, including the College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts (1878); and the Schools of Law (1911); Business Administration (1913); Pharmacy (1925); Music (1926); Education (1929); Nursing (1937); Health Sciences (1990); School of Natural and Environmental Sciences (1994) and the School of Leadership and Professional Advancement (2001). Duquesne’s ten schools offer degree programs on the baccalaureate, professional, master’s and doctoral levels.

Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences

TYPES OF ADMISSION On graduate faculty evaluation of an applicantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credentials for admission to an M.S. and/or Ph.D. program, students will be admitted as: 1. Regular. This is a full and unconditional admission into a graduate degree program. 2. Provisional. Subject to the fulfillment of a specific requirement normally stated in the letter of acceptance. When the requirement has been fulfilled, the student must submit a request for a change in status, in writing, to the Director of Graduate Studies. 3. Special Students. A qualified student who does not wish to become a degree candidate may, with the approval of the department or professor concerned, enroll for a particular course or courses. The student may receive official credit for the course. Special Students must be enrolled in another program within the University or submit to the Director of Graduate Studies a written request to attend graduate classes and evidence of a Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree from an accredited academic institution. The application fee is five dollars. 4. Temporary Transfer. This is granted to a student in good standing in any recognized graduate school who wishes to enroll in the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Duquesne University for one term or summer session and who plans to return thereafter to his/her former college or university. The student will not be required to submit a full transcript of credits, but must present a statement signed by the Graduate Director of his/ her institution indicating that the student is in good standing at that institution. 5. Combined Degree Programs. Doctor of Pharmacy students (P III, IV, V) may begin graduate study early with the approval of the Director of Graduate Studies. Interested students should be referred to the Pharm.D. (with the B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences) / M.S. / Ph.D. program policies and procedures. These students may take only courses numbered 500 to 599.

Student Health Insurance Effective for the 2006 - 2007 academic year, Duquesne University will require all full time students to have health insurance. This requirement recognizes the increasing importance of health insurance to every individual. Those who do not otherwise have coverage will be required to purchase a policy offered by the University at the beginning of the academic year. This requirement, or Hard Waiver, will allow the University to offer as comprehensive and cost effective plan as possible to all full time students. Those students who demonstrate that they have coverage from any other source will not be required to purchase the University-sponsored plan.

ASSISTANTSHIPS Teaching and research assistantships, which may include full remission of tuition and fees, are available to qualified applicants. Assistantships are normally awarded in the spring for the following academic year. Eligibility for assistantships is based on academic records, qualifications and financial need. These assistantships are granted in return for serving in the capacity of a laboratory teaching assistant and/or research assistant on a semester-to-semester basis. To be eligible for consideration for an assistantship, the student must complete the appropriate section on the official application. An international student seeking a teaching assistantship is advised that Duquesne University institutional policy and Pennsylvania state law requires that all instructional teaching assistants who are non-native speakers of English, be certified by the University as meeting acceptable standards of English language fluency. Candidates for teaching assistantships are required to submit TSE (Test of Spoken English) scores to the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Also, candidates must sit for on-campus language tests conducted for such certification. If results of the on-campus language testing for such certification indicate that the candidate requires assistance with the English language, that candidate will be responsible for the cost of providing assistance until that individual’s language proficiency improves to acceptable standards. Also, testing results may affect the nature and/or limits of the candidate’s assistantship and instructional duties.

Academic Policies and Procedures REGISTRATION Prior Advisement — After a student has been admitted to the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, the student must contact the faculty advisor within the discipline in which the student will be studying for advisement as to the exact program requirements. Written approval of the faculty advisor is required in advance for each registration for any course creditable toward a graduate degree. Official Registration — Registration is considered complete and official only when all charges are paid or when satisfactory arrangements have been

Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences

made with the Student Accounts Office of the University. Admission to any class is permitted only to those students who have officially registered for that class. Continuous Registration — All graduate students who are not registered for a course, but who are working toward a degree, must register each semester for Continuous Registration and pay the assigned fees. If the student is planning to receive a degree in August, the student must register for Continuous Registration during the summer session in which the degree completion is expected. Cross Registration — Full-time Duquesne University students may cross-register in the Graduate Schools (Carnegie Mellon University and The University of Pittsburgh) of the Pittsburgh Council on Higher Education (PCHE) on a space-available basis for one course per semester. Students should check with their faculty advisor concerning departmental cross-registration regulations. Duquesne University students who are participating in this program are charged by Duquesne University; however, students are responsible for paying any special course fees to the host institution. There is no cross-registration during the summer sessions. Cross-registration is subject to the approval of the appropriate officials of the institutions involved and must be recommended by the student’s faculty advisor and approved by the professor in charge of the course. Full credit and the grade will be posted on the student’s transcript; the academic regulations of the host institution will prevail. The cross-registration forms are available from the Graduate School Office. Degree Registration — Graduate students should register for their degree in the semester or summer session in which they expect to complete all of the degree requirements. If the degree is not completed in the intended semester or summer session, degree registration is required in the subsequent semesters or summer sessions until the degree requirements are completed.

GRADING The following grading system is in effect in the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences: A AB+ B BC F

Distinguished scholarly work

Normal progress toward degree

Warning: Student subject to faculty action! Failure: Course must be repeated; student subject to faculty action! I Incomplete: Grade is deferred because of incomplete work and must be removed within the required time frame of one academic year. W Official Withdrawal P Pass: Used in certain courses and is independent of the quality point system. N Not Passing: Used in courses graded on a Pass/ Fail basis and is independent of the quality point system. The above plus and minus grades may be used at the discretion of the instructor and with notification to students at the beginning of each course. ACADEMIC STANDARDS All graduate students must maintain a grade average not lower than B (3.00 Q.P.A.). Students failing to meet this standard may be subject to faculty action, including dismissal, for failure to maintain normal progress toward a degree. Decisions on student academic standing are made by the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences Council, after an initial review and recommendation by the Director of Graduate Studies. Any student having less than 3.00 as a final grade average at the conclusion of course work will be ineligible for the granting of a graduate degree.

Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences QUALITY POINT SYSTEM The studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall academic quality point average (Q.P.A.) is calculated by dividing the total quality points earned by the total number of semester hours attempted.

Grade A AB+ B BC F

Points Per Credits Attempted 4.0 3.7 3.3 3.0 2.7 2.0 0.0

Courses in which grades P, I and W were given are not used in calculating the quality point average. SEMESTER GRADE REPORTS Every registered student may access grades through the University WebAdvisor soon after the close of each semester. TRANSCRIPTS Each student will receive an unofficial transcript at the close of each academic year. Students should examine their records carefully for accuracy and immediately report errors to the Registrar of the University and the Director of Graduate Studies. To obtain additional copies of their academic records, students must request transcripts from the Office of the University Registrar. All official transcripts issued by the Office of the Registrar bear the signature of the Registrar and are printed on secured paper. Whenever an official transcript is released directly to the student, it will also bear the stamped designation, Issued to Student. No transcript will be issued unless all financial obligations owed by the student to the University have been fulfilled. A fee is charged for the issuance of each transcript.

CONFIDENTIALITY OF STUDENT RECORDS The University regards the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal information and academic record as a matter of confidence between the student and the University. The contents of either may be revealed only in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-380, Section 438, as amended) and with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. A form outlining the policies and procedures of the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences in observance of the provisions of this law is available in the Graduate School Office. Each graduate student should complete one of these documents upon matriculation to the Graduate School. AUDITING COURSES To audit courses, a student must be officially registered and pay the same charges for courses that are taken for credit. Enrollment in a course for audit is subject to approval of the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faculty advisor. Registration in a course as auditor must be declared at registration and is irrevocable after the mid-term examination period. CANCELLATION OF COURSES The University makes every reasonable effort to offer courses as announced in the Semester Schedule of Courses and Summer Session Bulletin. It reserves the right to make changes or cancel courses in the academic schedule because of insufficient enrollment or for any other equally valid reason.

Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences CHANGE OF SCHEDULE Students requiring a Change-of-Class Schedule, to add or drop a class, are permitted to do so during the pre-registration period, the final registration period, and the first class week of the semester (late registration). Change of class schedule is not permitted after the last date for change of schedule as announced in the Semester Academic Calendar. All schedule changes must be approved by the graduate studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faculty advisor and processed with the Graduate School and the Registrar. Schedule change requests processed with the Registrar during the first week of classes must have the approval of the instructors whose classes are being added or dropped. Students who tardily process change forms are not entitled to a refund for the course credits dropped. Courses dropped after the deadline for making schedule changes are classified as course withdrawals. WITHDRAWAL FROM A COURSE If a student wishes to withdraw from a course, the student may do so with the approval of the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s faculty advisor and by processing the proper form up to the day prior to final examinations. If a student wishes to withdraw from a course after that date, the student must present valid reasons and seek approval of the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faculty advisor and the Director of Graduate Studies. If approval is granted, the student then obtains and completes the appropriate forms. A student who is not granted approval of the request and withdraws from the course unofficially will receive an F grade for the course.

information, interpret and analyze data, to propose approaches to research problems, and general background understanding and knowledge in the area of the student’s major field of study. Alternatively, a student may be allowed to matriculate into the Ph.D. programs if (1) the student has earned an acceptable Master of Science degree, or (2) a student, who has taken 20 credit hours and has a minimum QPA of 3.50, petitions a Graduate School review committee to evaluate the student’s academic credentials. This committee will consist of the major advisor, one or two other faculty members within the discipline of study, and one outside reviewer. Upon review of the student’s credentials, the committee will make its recommendation for the student’s matriculation into the Ph.D. program to the Director of Graduate Studies and the Dean of the Graduate School. Courses — Students pursuing the Ph.D. are required to take a minimum of 60 post-baccalaureate semester hours, including 12 credits of dissertation research and 48 credits of course work, including core (required) courses, approved electives, and 4 credits of seminar. Each discipline requires the completion of specific Ph.D. core curriculum requirements. Core course requirements are listed for the various programs in the Pharmaceutical Sciences. All advanced standing for previous course work is at the discretion of the faculty within the discipline. The transfer of graduate course work completed (B or better grade) at other accredited academic institutions, which may be applicable toward the partial fulfillment of the doctoral degree requirements, is determined by Graduate School review committee action in each individual student case. The awarding of transfer credit for doctoral students must be approved by the Director of Graduate Studies. For all Ph.D. programs, any deficiencies in undergraduate course work must be resolved without the granting of graduate credit. Challenge examinations are not accepted for graduate credit by the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences. All graduate students are required to maintain good academic standing, which is defined as a quality point average of 3.0 or better.
