Degree Programs
The College of Pharmacy offers two graduate degrees: the Master of Science (M.S.) in Pharmacy and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Pharmaceutical Sciences. The College also offers a professional doctorate degree, Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.). The Pharm.D. is described in the College of Pharmacy section of the Idaho State University Undergraduate Catalog.

Doctor of Philosophy
Programs of study leading to the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree are offered through the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences (emphasis areas of Pharmacology, Pharmacokinetics, Biopharmaceutics, and Biopharmaceutical Analysis) and through the Department of Pharmacy Practice and Administrative Sciences (emphasis in Pharmacy Administration). The Ph.D. degree is a research degree and will be conferred upon the completion and report of a substantial body of original work.
Admission Requirements
- Professional degree in pharmacy or a baccalaureate degree in a related field with a GPA of not less than 3.0 for the final two years;
- Achieve at least the 50th percentile in two of the Graduate Record Examination aptitude section scores (Verbal, Quantitative or Analytical). Requirements may differ within the College of Pharmacy's two Departments; check with the Department for specific requirements; and
- Three letters of recommendation.
Students not meeting the minimum admission requirements for the Ph.D. program may reapply to continue on for the Ph.D. degree following successful completion of the M.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences program.
Each beginning graduate student will have a graduate advisor/program committee assigned from the graduate faculty upon entry into the program. The student's advisor/graduate program committee will assist the student in preparing an appropriate program of study of course work. While there is no fixed credit requirement for the Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences, the overall program of study will include at least 72 semester hours of graduate course work. The student is expected to have selected a major advisor from the graduate faculty no later than the end of his/her third semester in residence.
A grade below B is unsatisfactory and will not be counted toward fulfilling the minimum requirements for the degree. Upon recommendation of the student's advisor/graduate program committee and with the approval of the Head of the Graduate Program, a student may be required to withdraw at any time for failure to maintain satisfactory progress toward the degree.
When course work is essentially complete candidates for the Ph.D. degree complete a series of written and oral comprehensive examinations which may include the defense of a written research proposal. Upon completion of all proposed research, the student's findings will be reported in the form of a dissertation to be prepared in accordance with Department and Graduate School guidelines. While the dissertation must be defended to the graduate faculty of the College, acceptability only requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the student's committee members.
Doctor of Philosophy in Pharmaceutical Sciences (Pharmacology, Pharmacokinetics, Biopharmaceutics, and Biopharmaceutical Analysis Emphasis)
Other Admission Requirements

Professional students currently enrolled in the College of Pharmacy may be granted early admission to a graduate program administered by the College. In order that a student be eligible for early admission to a graduate program in the College, the following criteria must be met:
- Completion of at least 136 academic credits or a B.S. degree must be certified to the Graduate Dean by the Registrar. Such certification must include all University general education requirements, and meet all graduate student admission requirements.
- Formal application for admission to the College graduate program, with acceptance as a conditional student by the appropriate department faculty.
- A non-B.S. degree-holding student may be admitted to the Graduate School on a conditional basis. Following the award of the Pharm.D. degree, the student may petition to change to classified status. Students should consult the Graduate Catalog for course requirements for the graduate degrees offered by the College.

If a student has not completed a M.S. thesis, then s/he must complete a minimum of 3 credits of graduate research (PADM 650) and complete a research project resulting in a paper of publishable quality. If a student has completed a M.S. thesis, s/he may petition the Advisory Committee to accept it as fulfillment of this requirement.
Master of Science in Pharmacy
The M.S. program offers the student a choice of four emphases:
- Emphasis in Pharmaceutical Chemistry leading to the degree of M.S. in Pharmacy (Pharmaceutical Chemistry)
- Emphasis in Pharmacology leading to the degree of M.S. in Pharmacy (Pharmacology)
- Emphasis in Pharmaceutics leading to the degree of M.S. in Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

Students with a grade point average between 2.75 and 3.0 will receive consideration for admission on a conditional basis.
Other Requirements
All applicants are required to provide three letters of recommendation from professors from whom they have taken courses or under whose direction they have worked. It is highly recommended that the Graduate Record Examination be taken prior to the start of the semester in which a student begins graduate study. The GRE must be taken during the first semester in residence if it has not been taken previously.
All candidates are required to demonstrate a reading knowledge of a foreign language or proficiency with a research tool (such as computer programming and/or statistics). Individual requirements for each student must be approved by the student's major professor within the emphasis area.
All classified graduate students must register for the appropriate graduate seminar (601) each semester in which they are registered for graduate credit. A maximum of two credits in graduate seminar (601) may be applied toward the degree.
Early Entry Into the Graduate Program For Pharmacy Students Only
Professional students currently enrolled in the College of Pharmacy may be granted early admission to a graduate program administered by the College following completion of the second professional (P2) year in the Pharm.D. curriculum.
In order that a student be eligible for early admission to a graduate program in the College, the following criteria must be met:
- Completion of at least 136 academic credits must be certified to the Graduate Dean by the Registrar. Such certification must include all University general education requirements, and all College of Pharmacy pre-pharmacy, first (P1) and second (P2) professional year course requirements in the Pharm.D. curriculum.
- Minimum Graduate Record Examination scores: For admission to the M.S. program, attainment of scores on the GRE at the 35th percentile or better in either the verbal or quantitative portion of the test. For admission to the Ph.D. program, attainment of scores on the GRE at the 50th percentile.
- Formal application for admission to the College graduate program, with acceptance as a conditional student by the appropriate department faculty.
After meeting the above three criteria, a student may be admitted to the Graduate School on a conditional basis. Following the award of the Pharm.D. degree, the student may petition to change to classified status. Students should consult the Graduate School Bulletin for course requirements for the graduate degrees offered by the College.
