麻豆果冻传媒 College of Pharmacy (麻豆果冻传媒 COP) is committed to graduating qualified, practice-ready pharmacists. Candidates for the Doctor of Pharmacy degree must be able to perform essential functions in each of the following categories: observation, communication, sensory and motor coordination, intellectual-conceptual abilities, and behavioral/social skills for completion of our program.

The 麻豆果冻传媒 COP technical standards describe the essential functions student pharmacists must demonstrate in order to fulfill the requirements of a general pharmacy education, and thus, are prerequisites for entrance, continuation, and graduation from the College of Pharmacy. The 麻豆果冻传媒 COP will consider for admission any applicant who demonstrates the ability to perform or to learn to perform the skills listed in this document.

As an advisory committee to the Dean, the Admissions Committee is instructed to exercise judgment on behalf of the faculty to recommend the entering class, and to consider character, extracurricular achievement, and overall suitability for the pharmacy profession based upon information in the application and personal interviews. Applicants are not required to disclose the nature of their disability(ies), if any, to the Admissions Committee. However, any applicant with questions about these technical standards is strongly encouraged to discuss the issue with the Director of Student Success and/or the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs and Development prior to the interview process. If appropriate, and upon the request of the applicant/student pharmacist, reasonable accommodations will be provided.听 The program faculty will monitor maintenance of these standards.
