The External Pharmacy Degree (Pharm.D.) Program was developed by Washington State University (WSU) and the University of Washington (UW) to help licensed pharmacists keep pace with changes in the field, update their skills, gain a greater variety of hands-on clinical experience, compete for better career positions, and enhance and expand their practice to meet consumer needs. Professional competencies acquired by graduates of the program will be equivalent to those demonstrated by Pharm.D. graduates in the traditional entry-level programs on the UW and WSU campuses. The External Pharm.D. is under the academic direction of UW and WSU. Permanent pharmacy faculty members from both institutions will serve as instructors.
National pharmacy organizations have reached a consensus on the need for a change in pharmacy education. They have endorsed the Doctor of Pharmacy as the sole degree to enter the practice of pharmacy, and it will soon be the only degree accredited by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education (the national pharmacy accrediting agency). The College of Pharmacy at Washington State University and the School of Pharmacy at the University of Washington began offering the Pharm.D. as the sole professional degree in autumn 1995. The bachelor degree program will continue until students who entered the program prior to autumn 1995 graduate.
