The Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) College of Pharmacy and ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ’s College of Arts and Sciences and the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry will enter into an articulation agreement on Monday, Jan. 13, at 3 p.m. The signing will take place in the Urban Conference Room, located on the second floor of the ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Library in ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ, Ohio.
This partnership will make it possible for students to obtain their undergraduate and Pharm. D. degrees in just seven years, rather than the typical eight years it takes to complete both.
The agreement will allow ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ State students who satisfy the specified transfer articulation courses in the College of Pharmacy at NEOMED to complete their Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry, with a biochemistry concentration, in the College of Arts and Sciences at ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ State. The agreement encourages all ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ State students pursuing a science degree to consider a career in pharmacy.
