Academics

The professional phase of the pharmacy program is very strict. If anyone is caught cheating on an exam, they will be kicked out of the program and out of the school. Otherwise it depends on the individual professor.

The classes are difficult and rigorous, but that is always better for you.

The work is pretty straight forward. The only problem is that I've been overloading myself with classes (I took six classes -AKA 18 credits- last semester), so I have to deal with not sleeping a bunch of of times.

Overall LIU is known for there academics. Everything is competitive which is a good thing because it forces you to work hard to become what you want to do. Your going to see a lot of people slack off but do your best and try to not to mingle with those types of people. All the professors are very understanding. Visiting your professors during office hours is something you should definitely do. It lets the professor know that you are very serious and you have interest in there course. The professors don't want to hear that you have other courses and that's why you couldn't complete there assignment. Overall academically LIU is very good.

It is competitive especially when applying for programs such as nursing and pharmacy. There are a lot of helpful opportunities to help improve your grade and the teachers give a lot of work but they offer time to help students with the work. There are times the work seems a little lax but its good time to use that free time to review.
