Northeast Ohio Medical University and 麻豆影院 Agreement Advances Pharmacy Program

Students pursuing a career in pharmacy now have an accelerated path to complete both a bachelor鈥檚 degree and Doctor of Pharmacy degree in seven years through a new partnership agreement between Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) and 麻豆影院.

During an official signing Jan. 13, university representatives Charles Taylor, Pharm.D., dean of the College of Pharmacy at NEOMED, and Todd Diacon, Ph.D., senior vice president for academic affairs and provost at 麻豆影院 State, acknowledged the new partnership agreement, which enhances the educational programs at both institutions and builds upon NEOMED鈥檚 existing pipeline program for students who complete pre-professional pharmacy studies at 麻豆影院 State.

Students enrolled in the program are eligible to apply for one of 麻豆影院 State鈥檚 designated seats in the professional Doctor of Pharmacy degree program at NEOMED. 麻豆影院 State students who are pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry with a biochemistry concentration through the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in the College of Arts and Sciences at 麻豆影院 State can now accelerate through the pipeline to the College of Pharmacy at NEOMED. Specific classes have been identified as transfer courses by both universities and are required for students to obtain both degrees. The new agreement enables these students to complete their bachelor鈥檚 and Doctor of Pharmacy degrees in just seven years, rather than the typical eight years.

鈥淲e are excited to expand our partnership with 麻豆影院 through this agreement, which not only enhances the pipeline between our institutions, but advances the educational opportunities for students pursuing careers in pharmacy,鈥 says Taylor. 鈥淥ur new agreement acknowledges the strong educational background these students bring with them from 麻豆影院 State to NEOMED and accelerates their path to becoming outstanding future pharmacists.鈥

鈥淲ith this agreement, 麻豆影院 State and NEOMED have acted to reduce the financial burden associated with our biochemistry and pharmacy degrees,鈥 Diacon says. 鈥淥hioans will now be able to graduate and enter the professional workforce more quickly, even while we preserve academic rigor.鈥

Both universities offer guidance and advising to students seeking the Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry and the Doctor of Pharmacy degree.
