How many semester hours are required to obtain an intern's license?

To obtain an intern's license in Ohio, it is required that the individual has completed either 60 or 90 semester hours of college education. This flexibility is important as it accommodates different educational pathways that aspiring pharmacists might take.

Students who have completed a minimum of 60 semester hours may qualify for the intern's license if these hours include specified coursework relevant to pharmacy. Meanwhile, those who have completed 90 semester hours may also meet the criteria, potentially having a more extensive educational background that might be advantageous in their future careers.
