PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The primary objective of the School of Pharmacy is to provide a sound
scientific, professional, and cultural background necessary for the successful
provision of patient-oriented primary pharmaceutical care with emphasis
on rural interdisciplinary community-based practice.
The pharmacy curriculum at the University of Wyoming begins with a two-year
preprofessional program followed by the 4-year professional program. The
professional program consists of three years of coursework on campus and
40 weeks of experiential coursework performed off-campus. The UW School
of Pharmacy admits approximately 52 students every fall. Students in the
School of Pharmacy have their own special activities and share in the
congenial college community. Students may enter the professional program
only upon official acceptance by the School of Pharmacy. Entry into the
program is limited and competitive.
