As part of their elective options, students may choose either 1) a Co-op in the pharmaceutical industry (which starts in the summer and may go through the 1st block of the fall semester), or 2) have no summer courses and do a lab-based research project with a Campbell faculty member. In order to maintain full-time student status, students must enroll in a minimum of 7.0 credit hours every semester, except their final semester in the program, when 3.5 credits of courses is considered full-time. Also, students are not assigned to a Co-op, but instead must apply to the company for a position.
