The School of Pharmacy (SOP) Pathways provide optional paths for students enrolled in the Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum to build their expertise within the pharmacy profession.  The Pathways expand the breadth and depth of a pharmacy student’s education to help them become pharmacy leaders, addressing the healthcare needs of today and tomorrow.  The SOP currently offers Pathways with:

• Pharmacy Administration
• Pharmaceutical Sciences
• Residency
• Underserved  

Students can choose to apply to one or more Pathways during the spring semester of their P2 year.  Upon acceptance to the Pathway(s), students will work with a SOP Pathways faculty coordinator to select on-campus coursework, experiential rotations, and projects to fulfill the Pathways requirement.  Students who successfully complete a SOP Pathway will receive a designation on their transcript.  Questions about the SOP Pathways may be directed to Dr. Melissa Theesfeld at melissa.theesfeld@cuw.edu.
