Program Information


A combined Bachelor of Science/Doctor of Pharmacy (B.S. /Pharm.D.) program between the University of Hartford and Notre Dame of Maryland University School of Pharmacy (NDM-SOP) provides an opportunity for students with career goals in pharmacy. The program typically allows for the completion of the B.S./Pharm.D. degree in a seven-year period. The B.S./Pharm.D. program is for the academically outstanding student with a strong motivation toward the field of pharmacy.

The Doctor of Pharmacy program requires four years of combined academic and clinical training leading to the Pharm.D. degree, which is a prerequisite for licensure in the United States.

NDM-SOP is located in Baltimore, MD, and is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education.
