Bachelor in PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES

Whether you want to prepare life-saving medications for patients or work in a research laboratory to develop a cure, Alverno’s dual-degree pharmaceutical sciences program can prepare you for a rewarding career. It can also help you earn that white coat faster and more cost-effectively.

Alverno has partnered with two area schools – the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) School of Pharmacy and Concordia University Wisconsin’s School of Pharmacy – for a pipeline program that will allow full-time students to earn a bachelor of science degree and a doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) degree in six to seven years.

The JoAnn McGrath School of Nursing and Health Professions (SON) requires that students complete a Practice-based Inquiry Project (PBIP) in educational and/or clinical settings in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program. The Getting Started page for student researchers describes important requirements for completing the appropriate forms if the PBIP has been determined to have a research component.

SON graduate students work under the supervision of their faculty capstone mentor in the development of their proposal, which generally will involve activities not likely to be research. During the development, the faculty capstone mentor will evaluate the proposal for a research component using the SON-RRC Determination of Research Screening Checklist (SON Screening Checklist).

If the proposal is determined to have a research component, the graduate student will complete the appropriate forms on the Getting Started page for student researchers. Both the PBIP proposal and the student's completed IRB forms will be independently reviewed by the SON-RRC Chair.
