Rocky Mountain Remote Pathway
Want a CU Anschutz pharmacy degree but can’t move to Denver? The Doctor of Pharmacy Degree Remote Pathway may be for you. 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.
- Receive a world-class education with stellar career outcomes.
- Learn from international experts in the field.
- Take advantage of career services, advising, and mental health services.
- Develop relationships with premiere pharmacy leaders.
- Participate in a variety of rotations near your location and in Colorado. Learn more about experiential education opportunities.
- Take your PharmD classes from the comfort of your own home.
- Eliminate moving costs.
- Avoid Denver cost-of-living.
*Travel costs for on-campus visits will be covered by student
- Have a partner or children you don’t want to uproot with a move? Maintain consistency while pursuing your degree.
- Decide at some point that you want to change to on-campus learning? You have that option too.
- Value your existing support system? Choose a program that allows you to stay connected with friends and family while advancing your education.
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.
