University of Maryland Shady Grove can be done remotely/online. You will need to stop by the main campus once in a while for a lab session!

it seems that a lot of places are phasing out their nontraditional pharm.d. programs.

so I don't have an answer for you except for the fact that I would hate to know that my colleagues were looking for the most convenient way to do it - least time required, etc.

There are two separate "non-traditional PharmD" programs you might be talking about. Many schools have classes for current pharmacists, who graduated before the PharmD graduation requirement, and have a Bachelor's degree in pharmacy, who would like to attain a PharmD. Other programs are for students with a BS in another field and certain prerequisites who would like to pursue what basically amounts to the last 3-4 years of pharmacy school curriculum to attain a PharmD. What type of program do you mean?

Megas - I would consider your 2nd option the "traditional Pharm.D." as opposed to the 0-6 route. There are more schools that use that model than the 0-6.

Megas,
I meant the first one. For those who got B.S. pharmacy and want to get the title of PharmD to open their oppurtunities at large institutes.
Thanks!

University of Florida still offers a non-traditional program where a BS Pharmacist can earn a PharmD. I believe the program is online. Here is the link:

I have a BscPhm, and I'm starting a PharmD in a few weeks at the University of Toronto, which has a part-time distance program (we don't have entry-level pharmD in Canada yet): U of T PharmD.

Did you get your BPharm from Canada or outside NA?? and how long is that PharmD program?

Hi,
Are you in school now for non traditional pharm D? I just withdrew my education from university of florida. It is the most unorganized I have ever seen.

 

[chicago123]

I just withdrew from that program, and hopefully I will get my tuition back. It is the worst online course I have ever encounter. But that's just one person's opinion. For you guys who survive this WPPD program, I salute you.😕

I never noticed this post. I got my BscPhm from Canada.

Still going at the program - it's pretty thorough. Part-time it takes 3 years. The full-time program takes 2.

Sorry the program did not work out for you. I am graduating from Florida's WPPD program this semester. Unorganized? Yes, I would agree it is not the most organized of programs. It's really a long distance learning program as opposed to an online program since you meet for live class meetings 3 times a semester or for a weekend if you do remote settings. I'm glad we met for class. It was very helpful knowing the others going through the program. It does require a large amount of time and is a big commitment. I'm impressed by anybody who works full-time and goes through the program (I only work 30 hours a week). The 1st semester of Foundations is a lot different than the following 8 semesters. While I liked Foundations, most other students did not. Although it's not without its frustrations, I'd recommend the program.

so in order to apply the candidate must be licensed in Canada, BPharm alone isn't enough?
