Our 3.5-year Doctor of Pharmacy degree program begins with 2.5 years of classroom instruction and introductory pharmacy practice experiences followed by a final year comprised of advanced pharmacy practice experiences. Harding helps you find your inspired purpose, starting with a student-centered focus. Faculty mentors and dedicated staff are committed to encouraging you to seek more and expect more of yourself. Your student cohort provides community as you navigate classes, labs, and experiences together. You have many opportunities as a group to make a difference in the Harding, Searcy, and Central Arkansas communities through campus organizations, volunteer opportunities, and other co-curricular activities that track alongside the formal curriculum. Harding also provides national and international opportunities through medical mission trips and experiential opportunities. Once admitted to Harding University College of Pharmacy, students benefit from the close ties the University has forged with public and private institutions worldwide. For example, students can gain clinical education at a medical mission point in Namwianga, Kolomo, Zambia. Students can participate in medical relief efforts in Haiti, Honduras, Guatemala, Cameroon, and Ghana when available. Students also benefit from interactions with those in Harding’s other health sciences programs, including nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, family nurse practitioner, and physician assistant students. Interprofessional education is utilized throughout the Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum.
