Pacific is proud to offer the only accelerated, three-year PharmD pathway in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, and the only extended five-year pathway in the U.S. The intensive academic schedule in the three-year pathway enables you to graduate one year earlier than traditional PharmD programs. The extended schedule in the five-year pathway provides greater flexibility, making a PharmD education accessible for different needs, challenges, and paths in life. Choose the format that fits you best; both PharmD pathways share the same dedicated faculty, student-centered curriculum, and robust clinical experiences. Our curriculum emphasizes integration of concepts and application to clinical practice and patient care, as well as teamwork and collaboration. We cultivate a student-centered environment through faculty and staff interaction and student support. As one of several programs offered at the Pacific University Health Profession Campus, we incorporate interprofessional learning experiences for our students throughout the program. program_location: OR program_structure: Other pubpriv_inst: Private res_otherpref_radio: 'No' res_otherpref_text: '' res_statepref_radio: 'No' sa_details: '' sa_fee_instructions: '' sa_fee_radio: 'No' sa_fee_text: '' sa_link: '' sa_radio: 'No' school_city: Hillsboro school_country: US school_state: OR school_street_1: '222 SE 8th Avenue' school_street_2: '' school_street_3: '' school_zip: '97123' seats_target_available_in_upcoming_class: '52' short_name: 'Pacific U Oregon' stats_classsize: '100' stats_early: '0' stats_last_filled_seats: '47' tests_other_radio: 'No' tests_other_tests: '' tests_tt_radio: 'No' tests_tt_text: |- The following criteria represent different ways to prove English proficiency for this program: TOEFL or IELTS: Achieving the minimum required official score on the International Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam.
