Doctor of Pharmacy

The Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program at Temple University requires students to complete a series of prerequisite courses before admission. These prerequisites typically take two to three years to complete and include a minimum of 59-62 credit hours across various disciplines such as mathematics, biology, chemistry, and physics. Students must also complete at least 18 elective credits from social sciences and humanities. The program is designed to prepare students for a career in pharmacy, emphasizing both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Importantly, applicants are not required to hold an undergraduate degree or take the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) to apply, making the pathway to pharmacy education more accessible. The program can be completed in-person or online, providing flexibility for students.
