2018-19 Undergraduate Academic Catalog

Admission/Preferred Admission The Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences (B.S.P.S.) degree curriculum includes courses in the professional Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree curriculum, which are only accessible to students who have been admitted to the Pharm.D. program (unless an exception is granted by the School of Pharmacy). The B.S.P.S. degree curriculum includes all of the courses required for admission to the Cedarville University Doctor of Pharmacy program. The final course in the B.S.P.S. degree curriculum is typically completed during the spring semester of the first professional (P1) year in the Doctor of Pharmacy program. Students intending to pursue a career in pharmacy - thus, pursue a Pharm.D. degree – should choose pharmaceutical sciences as their major. NOTE: Failure to be granted admission to the Pharm.D. program (which would occur during the academic year prior to the 1st professional (P1) year in the Pharm.D. program), or be granted an exception to complete the B.S.P.S. by the School of Pharmacy in the absence of such admission, will result in an inability to complete this degree. Undergraduate students at Cedarville University in the pharmaceutical sciences major may compete for Preferred Admission to the Pharm.D. program as early as their senior year in high school and continuing throughout their undergraduate studies. Preferred Admission is awarded to a select number of students who have demonstrated the aptitudes and skills necessary for successful pursuit of a career in pharmacy. This status reserves a seat for the student in the class size-limited Pharm.D. program, associated with a specific School-established start date in the Pharm.D. program. Students with Preferred Admission status are exempt from competing against other applicants for a seat in the program. The granting of Preferred Admission status involves two steps. First, students obtain admission to the University. Second, students compete for preferred admission to the School of Pharmacy. That competition begins with an invitation by the Pharmacy Admissions Committee to apply for Preferred Admission to the School of Pharmacy. Those invitations are based upon the following criteria: 1. Declared interest in pharmacy 2. Academic curriculum 3. Cumulative GPA (high school or collegiate) 4. ACT composite and subscores of at least 23 (or SAT subscores of 530 or higher)(for high school students) The Pharmacy Admissions Committee begins inviting students to apply by the first week of October. The application process involves scheduling an interview with the Pharmacy Admissions Committee. Interviews typically begin in mid-November and continue until all Preferred Admission seats are filled. Final selection is based upon performance in the interview and on the essay. Students who do not wish to compete for preferred admission or who do not qualify for preferred admission as a new student may still take the B.S.P.S. curriculum and apply for Preferred Admission, or make direct application to the Pharm.D. program, later in their academic journey. The Admissions Committee considers applications of undergraduate students for Preferred Admission at the end of each academic year. Preferred Admission Continuation Requirements In order to continue with Preferred Admission status, students must meet the following requirements: 1. Maintain a cumulative undergraduate GPA of at least 3.00. For purposes of Preferred Admission, the School of Pharmacy calculates the GPA using a course- repeat and grade-replacement policy that considers the repeated course grade in place of the original course grade, regardless of when such occurred during the undergraduate experience (i.e., any undergraduate course may be repeated for this purpose). Note, this Preferred Admission policy does not affect the student’s official transcript – the policies for which are established and managed by the Registrar. Students who do not achieve a 3.00 GPA according to these policies will be subject to the following actions related to their Preferred Admission status: • Conditional Status: Applied to student failing to achieve a 3.00 cumulative GPA after their first undergraduate semester at Cedarville University. • Probation Status: Applied to student failing to achieve a 3.00 cumulative GPA after their first undergraduate year at Cedarville University. • Loss of Preferred Admission Status: Occurs if student fails to achieve a 3.00 cumulative GPA after two years of undergraduate study at Cedarville University. Note: All status decisions are at the discretion of the Admissions Committee; students who do not hold Preferred Admission status may continue to enroll in the B.S.P.S. degree curriculum with an aim toward regaining Preferred Admission status and/or applying directly to the Pharm.D. program at the appropriate time. 2. Earn a minimum grade of “C” in all courses identified as prerequisites for admission to the Pharm.D. program (see Graduate and Adult Programs Academic Catalog). Students may repeat any course for which a “C” was not earned. Exceptions to this requirement are applied to select two- semester sequence courses (General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Human Structure and Function) in which students may continue with a C- in either semester of the sequence as long as they earn a grade of at least C+ in the complementary course of the sequence. All prerequisite and application requirements for the Pharm.D. program are found in the Graduate and Adult Programs Academic Catalog. Financial Aid B.S.P.S. students benefit from all scholarship programs available to other Cedarville University students. For students continuing into the professional Pharm.D. program (completing their B.S.P.S. degree as part of their professional studies) after three years of undergraduate study at Cedarville University, the University aid will continue to be available through the first professional year. Career Opportunities The demand for pharmacists appears to be strong for many years to come.
