Classes are synchronous, meaning that you will be joining live classes as they are taught in real time via videoconferencing technology. You’ll be learning alongside your campus-based cohort, so even though you’ll be remote, you’ll never be alone. Up to 10 days each semester you’ll need to travel to campus for experiences that require hands-on training like lab work and vaccination training. During the fourth year of the degree (P4) you’ll be engaged in direct patient care as part of the Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPEs). This part of the degree requires you to be under the guidance of a preceptor and will require you to be in Colorado for most of the time, with some elective opportunities available out of state or internationally. See the operational policy below for more specifics on how the pathway works.
Whether you choose on-campus or remote learning, the PharmD application process begins by creating a PharmCAS account. Refer to our admissions information for those details.
