Student Study Plan
Every graduate student needs a Study Plan, which is essentially a ‘road map’ of the requirements that the student must
successfully complete in order to attain the degree. The Advisor along with the student and in coordination with the Advisory
Committee prepare the Study Plan before the end of the first semester of the student’s enrollment. The student indicates his/
her acceptance of the plan by signing the “Study Plan” form prepared specifically for the student.
Time-to-Degree
The maximum time allowed for a student to complete the requirements of the degree after matriculation into a program
depends on the level and type of the degree program. The following is the time limit students have to complete their degree
requirements by degree program type, which excludes any official leave of absence periods:
-
Master and Doctor of Pharmacy programs: 8 semesters.
-
Professional Doctorate programs: 10 semesters.
-
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program: 12 semesters.
Students who do not complete their degree requirements within the allotted time will be dismissed from the university. An
extension for one semester may be granted in extra-ordinary circumstances.
