The Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy is an outcomes-based program that offers a good mix of general education courses, which have relevant applications in the profession of pharmacy, and professional courses which will prepare the graduates in acquiring competencies necessary in the workplace. Courses in pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmaceutics and the life and medical sciences will enhance the understanding of pharmaceutical product development and their applications in pharmacy practice including patient care. Theories learned are supported by laboratory work where students are allowed to tinker and discover through activities and experiments. In their fourth year an internship program is included which involves assigning students to different CHED-accredited affiliation establishments covering a minimum of 1200 hours. Student interns, during the course of the internship or supervised pharmacy practice experience, will have exposure to a variety of opportunities in areas that will prepare them for the different roles expected of them upon graduation.
