Each course has an assigned instructor who is available to students via telephone or email for questions or assistance.

These didactic courses constitute 37 credits of academic work. Students may petition for waivers of didactic course work contingent upon proof of equivalent postgraduate study within the last 8 years by official transcript and approval of the course instructor. Students holding a current board certification in pharmacotherapy (BCPS) must complete 8 credits of pharmocotherapy modules plus the two credit capstone for a total of 10 credits. These credits may be any combination of modules as designated by the student.
The Non-T program does not function on a traditional semester calendar. Students may register for and complete courses in their own time frame. It is recommended that students complete one credit per month. Students will not be allowed to stay in the didactic portion of the program longer than 3.5 years.
Progression
The Non-T Program reserves the right to require any student to retake any course work which is more than four years old from the date of original course registration. Thus, any student who takes more than four years to complete the program may be required to retake courses the program considers to be time-sensitive in nature.
