Empowering Pharmacy Practice
The College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences offers the six-year Extended Distance Learning Pathway (DLPx). The DLPx follows the same curriculum as our full-time distance and in-person pathways, but at a slower pace that allows you to pursue a career in pharmacy wherever you are and with more flexibility to meet life’s demands.
The WNE Doctor of Pharmacy DLPx is a 146-credit curriculum that includes both online classroom instruction and hands-on, in-person (experiential) learning. Our low student-faculty ratio ensures students receive individualized attention. In both the digital and in-person classroom, students engage in discussion and learn through the integration and application of pharmaceutical, clinical, and administrative sciences. Introductory pharmacy practice experiences (IPPE) and advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPE) provide a framework for learners to integrate classroom skills in a supervised environment early in the program and practice the skills in a more independent manner during the final year as they evolve into independent practitioners.
This is an extended, six-year program; the College also offers a four-year distance program that is a high-quality online alternative to the on-campus PharmD program.
